Ken
Have emailed you the files.
Having read what Steve has suggested I remember that I tortured the 
data in many different ways in order to find a better way. Instead of 
the Sum() component I tried ema's and wma's and every type of ma or 
TA calculation I could think of. Instead of C>=ref(C,-1) and C<=ref
(C,-1) I tried substituting H and L, I tried AVG, I tried the nos of 
advancing and declining stocks in the index, I tried every damn thing 
I could think of, and still do occaisionally.
I haven't yet found an improvement to the current formula and would 
welcome suggestions.
