Thanks Bob,
I use primarily AmiBroker. Have some other software also, however never used Wealthlab or StrataSearch. I asked as I wanted to know if the other things you mentioned about other SW were part of the article or some other users went further beyond the article.
Well, I have many times thought of subscribing to magazines like TASC, however the erratic postal deliveries to India do not permit taking a decision. It will be wonderful if TASC has a feature to update its DVD online every month for subscribers. In that case I would have gone for subscription without physical delivery.
It seems that you subscribe to the magazines and I hope they are beneficial.
Thanks again for you response.
With Regards
Sanjiv Bansal

While the formula for the indicator is listed in the magazine, I was wondering if anyone has written a code for turning this into a system and testing the validity of this indicator. The Tradestation and Nuroshell has code for an entry, exit and shorting strategies.
