Dear friends :
I sent some email to metastock support for days
but no reply up to now so I would like to ask for
help in this list .
Two question ,
1 )The function troughbars(Nth , data array , %), If
I set the Nth as 1, that means most recent
trough , and 3%.
Now I have have three sequential data D1, D2, D3
which D1 and D3 is larger than D2 . The condition
is the data curve drop from D1 to D2 then rise to
D3 . How will it be truth to the troughbars
function if I set it to 3% .
((D1+D3/2)-D2)/D2 > 3% or
(D1-D2)/D2+(D3-D2)/D2 > 3 %
or ?????
2) In explorer , if I want to test if my formula
has some error . The best method is to find some
stock which its condition can match at specified
date and change the date in explorer to that date
. Although I follow the instruction from
metastock , it seems that their method is only
works in present date but not back testing a
specfied date . Here is metastock reply me .

The above solution works for most recent date
exploring but not back testing . But I feel
confused as I tried in other explorer formula and
just back test it the formula by point the date
to a specified date, it works !
Can somebody help me ???
Many thanks and good luck in investment !!!!
All of you !!
