The variable MA in Metastock used the VHF measure until 6.0, when they moved
to CMO. The implementation suffered to make it basically unusable IMO. In
6.5, there was some changes in formula to make it better and they returned
the superior VHF version in a function call, seen below:
periods:=Input("periods",1,244,89);
VariableMA511( C , periods)
I suggest everyone use this version. This Var and the time series find its
way into my formulas more than other MAs.
It is worth while to set up a template with many types of MAs plotted then
look at how they react to different life cycles of a stock/market. The one
that follows price closely like time series can be most effective one for
trader. Experiment with periods. I like 89 periods due to the power of the
180 day cycle found in stocks that move.
