RE: bull/bear fear-retested

I'll repost for you with a question.

Why is BullFear defined as

BullFear := (HHV(HIGH,n) - LLV(HIGH,n))/2 + LLV(HIGH,n);

instead of just 

BullFear := (HHV(HIGH,n) + LLV(HIGH,n))/2;

as it is in the magazine?

enter long:
n :=opt2{Time periods};
BullFear := (HHV(HIGH,n) - LLV(HIGH,n))/2 + LLV(HIGH,n);
Cross(CLOSE,bullfear) AND
DX(10) > opt1

close long:
n :=opt2{Time periods};
BearFear := (HHV(LOW,n) - LLV(LOW,n))/2 + LLV(LOW,n);
CLOSE < bearfear
---------------------------
i played with the opt1 opt2 on various indexes & the results were much
improved. this formula included the DX portion & mine did not.
here are some of the results:
     opt1 opt2  profit    %    ttl trades  win   lose   avg    
djia: 21   4    606.33   60.63     45       28    17   1.399
xau:  19   6    493.54   49.35     26       12    14   2.55
      21   4    -68.7    -6.87     40       12    28   2.14
s&p:  18   4    470.5    47.05     45       25    20   1.6
      21   4    285.20   28.52     41       24    19   1.23
i tried the test without the DX & results were real poor, so the DX is
an important factor.
