Ian,
The Krauz article I read described the ECO as "a double smoothed ratio of
the difference between the close(C) and open(O) of each bar and the
difference between the high(H) and low(L) prices for each bar:"
FWI my interpretation is:
{ECO[Ergodic Candlestick Oscillator]}
(MOV(MOV(C-O,5,E))26,E)/MOV(MOV(H-L,5,E))26,E))*100
Someone else may have a better code.
