<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Has anyone read <FONT color=#000000 face=Arial
size=2><EM>The New Technical Trader </EM></FONT>by Tushar Chande? If so,
how did you recitify what seems to me to be a circular reference in the
following formula given on pg. 180 VIDYA<FONT size=1>d<FONT size=2> =
A*Close+(1-A)*VIDYA<FONT size=1>d-1<FONT size=2>? How can one calculate a VIDYA
based on the previous day's VIDYA? It seems to me that eventually one
would run out of previous days. Any enlightenment on this one would be
helpful. The following is my attempt at rectifying this problem, but it
doesn't feel right </FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

Jeff,
Not long ago I posed the following to this group:
Traditionally, we are taught that a trend involves higher highs and higher
lows for an uptrend. In "Trading for Tigers", Walter Downs states that for
an uptrend to be in effect todays high must equal the highest high of "n"
trading sessions and todays close must be greater than yesterdays close.
Questions:
1.Has anyone else read the book?
2.Does anyone have any thoughts on this uptrend definition?
3.Has anyone coded Walters' indicators into Metastock?
While I wouldn't suggest that anyone run out and purchase this book at $139,
I do believe the book may have some merit to the right trader. If you're
into pattern recognition then maybe this book would help. As far as the
merits for the traditional trader I believe that until we've had some time
to digest and manipulate the formula we really won't know. Is the book earth
shattering...let's just say that at $139 it will definitely knock your socks
off! Would I give mine up for a song...no, I'm not ready to give it up yet!
J.
