Lionel,
To keep everything simple, every one of these variables is set up as a
separate indicator. When using MS, I try to use the KISS method at all
times.

Guy:
If I understand what you are trying to do, here's a suggestion.
There is a limit on the number of iterations that Metastock can handle in a
single formula.
One way around this might be to break up your iterations into blocks of not
more than 8 iterations, then combine these into one formula.
The Metastock formula language is distinctly limited.
It may be easier to do this in Excel or VB or TAS.
