Raminder:
The problem is in their "smoothing." Below is the code I wrote for the Red Line
based on an explanation they gave me about a year ago. I can dig up that e-mail
if you wish. Also, I recall Daryl Guppy's site
(http://www.nt-tech.com.au/guppy/gup59.htm) has all the code (written by our own
Adam Hefner, I think) for Bill Williams' methods.
Be careful with Bill Williams' system, though, it's not the holy grail he
describes in his books.
Hope this helps.
{This code can be cleaned up using the Sum function. It was written in this
expanded form during debugging}
p8:= Ref((H+L)/2,-8);
p7:= Ref((H+L)/2,-7);
p6:= Ref((H+L)/2,-6);
p5:= Ref((H+L)/2,-5);
p4:= Ref((H+L)/2,-4);
p3:= Ref((H+L)/2,-3);
p2:= Ref((H+L)/2,-2);
p1:= Ref((H+L)/2,-1);
p0:= (H+L)/2;
PrevSum:= p8+p7+p6+p5+p4+p3+p2+p1;
PrevAve:= PrevSum/8;
Ref((PrevSum - PrevAve + p0)/8,-5)

Bill William's in his 3rd chapter mentions the "Alligator", which he
describes as,
the Blue Line - 13 day smoothed moving average, offset 8 days into the future
the Red Line - 8 day smoothed moving average, offset 5 days into the future the
Green Line - 5 day smoothed moving average, offset 3 days into the future
I downloaded the demo from www.profitunity.com. However, with the same
stock, under MetaStock 6.5.2, I can't seem to get the same values as his
software. I've tried, Simple, Exponential, Weighted, all the ones available in
MetaStock. I even tried experimenting with the time periods values.
Comes close, but not the same. I'd be highly obliged if somebody would
shed some light on this.
