RE: exploration formula question

["Dave Nadeau" <dave_nadeau@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I will be interested to see if anyone has any ideas on this.

Using the Input() function requires a min, a max, and a default value.  When
the Custom Indicator is used in a formula, only the default value will be
used in the calculation.  The way around this is to code in the variable, in
this case, =20.  Unfortunately, this is a password protected formula.  So,
unless you can get the password and alter the Input() statement, I believe
you cannot set the period to anything other than the default value that
comes already programmed.

Subject: exploration formula question


if i have a password protected formula that requests a period to be entered
eg. 20
it draws the chart real well.

now i would like to write an exploration that will allow me to scan for the
indicator at a certain level.  for example:

the WB "cycles" requests a period: i enter 20.

to scan for all charts where WB "cycles" with a 20 value is below 10.
how do i write this:


Fml("cycles")<10; period Fml("cycles")=20;


any ideas ?
