What I'm talking about is not continuous differentiation _in time_ (,
even if this can also be done), but rather continuous _amount of
differentiation_, i.e. not the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd derivative, but rather
the 1.75th, which might be appropriate to compensate for the
integration (i.e. lag) effect of a given indicator, if we include the
lag of the differentiation process itself.
(Looking at discrete data from a continuous point of view is
frequently done even in many or most MetaStock diagrams, where (some
kind of) "interpolation" is the method of choice.)
