Of course symbolic notation is "accurate and precise", I never said
otherwise. You are comparing agricultural products with organic fertilizer.
No one, including Ken, has disproved Guy's assertions. Guy's work has shown
why sometimes indicators and computations in Metastock bear little relation
to the real numbers.
Mike, your response to my remarks is less than inspired.
