[amibroker] Re: Standard Deviation as an indicator

I couldn't help myself... might as well take the natural log of the 
price series you're dealing with-- price data follows more of a log 
distribtion than a normal distribution (log(c)).  This become more 
apparent in parabolic moving stocks and longer time frames for 
calculating std. dev.  There are other ways to deal with the 
asymetric price distributions, but that is entirely too much 
explanation for this dialogue.

good luck
