That's alright - it was just a starting point.

The hard part with working with someone else is understanding the 
idea behind what they want to do - implementing it shouldn't be too 
hard.

the lookback period - the period increases each bar until the cross) 
and when the bars crossed the trend line at the start of a downtrend, 
it would jump up and plot above the bars (again, x% above the lowest 
close).

I can't get much from the Russian site.
Their line doesn't appear to support the 'trend' as you are 
suggesting - their plot looks more like a zig-zag indicator as 
the 'trend' lines are cutting the bars.

I'll do a bit more with it over the next few days and add to the 
existing Hi/Lo indicator post - sorry but I doubt if I can achieve 
exactly what you want without more information.

I don't mind trying to help.
I learn things and it makes an interesting post for the UKB.

Cheers,
