True Range - Welles Wilder (for MetaStock
v6.5)<BR>-------------------------------------------------------<BR>Written by
Ton Maas-981225-Amsterdam-the
Netherlands<BR>-------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>The
True range is the greatest of the following differences:<BR><BR>a) Today's high
to today's low<BR>b) Today's high to yesterday's close<BR>c) Today's low to
yesterday's close<BR><BR>The range is normally the "high - low". However, any
time<BR>the value of yesterday's close is not within the range of<BR>today's
bar, rule b) or rule c) applies.<BR><BR>As with most other indicators, the
periodic value is summed<BR>and smoothed to create the final
indicator.<BR><BR>The Average True range is a 1-day Moving Average of the True
range.<BR><BR>In Metastock(v6.5):<BR>-Open the Indicator Builder<BR>-Press
New<BR>-This will open the IB's Editor and display a new blanc formula
layout<BR>-In the "Name"-field type(or Copy+Paste) the name below<BR>-In the
"Formula"-field type(or Copy+Paste) the formula below<BR><BR>Note:<BR>The ATR
indicator is standard build-in MetaStock(v6.x) and can be used<BR>by typing
ATR("periods") as its Syntax in the Formula field.<BR><BR>Example: ATR(20) (=a
20-day True range average)<BR>
Mov(ATR(1),20,S) (=a 20-day Moving Average of True range average)<BR><BR>The
pre-defined ATR-indicator is prefered over the below printed formula,<BR>as this
will require the needed calculation time.<BR><BR>Name:<BR>Average True Range -
Welles
Wilder<BR><BR>Formula:<BR>TR1:=Abs(H-L);<BR>TR2:=Abs(Ref(C,-1)-H);<BR>TR3:=Abs(Ref(C,-1)-L);<BR>MX1:=Max(TR1,TR2);<BR>MX2:=Max(TR1,TR3);<BR>MX3:=Max(TR2,TR3);<BR>MXTRS:=If(MX1>MX2,<BR>

Volatility
{ from www.equis.com }<BR><BR><BR>rev.
01/06/97<BR><BR>In his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, J. Welles
Wilder Jr.<BR>talks about volatility and describes his Volatility Index and
Volatility<BR>System. Both of these can be performed in MetaStockT for Windows
version<BR>6.0. This document describes how to construct both the index and
the<BR>system.<BR><BR>The Volatility Index (VI) is described by Wilder
as:<BR><BR>VI Today = (13 * VI Prev + TR1) / 14 *where TR1 is today's true
range.<BR><BR>He defines the true range as the greatest of the
following:<BR><BR> 1. The distance from today's high to today's
low<BR> 2. The distance from yesterday's close to today's high,
or<BR> 3. The distance from yesterday's close to today's low.<BR><BR>In
MetaStock version 6.0 or higher you would use the Prev function and a<BR>one
period Average True Range to construct the Volatility Index. The
custom<BR>formula is written as:<BR><BR>VI Today = (13 * Prev + ATR(1)) /
14<BR><BR>=======================================================</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Try to drag Mov indicator onto your custom indicator, its

okay.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For some indicators, it may not be possible to drag it

:</FONT></DIV>
