Error in Sinewave Generator

["Tom Strickland" <tstrickland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sean,
 
Sorry to say, but my modem got zapped by a 
lightning surge, I had to reinstall Windows, and I lost my e-mail files. Thus I 
can't give you the direct quote of what Equis said. However, I'll give you my 
interpretation plus my opinions. You may want to go directly to Equis for 
clarification/confirmation.
 
1. Equis said that the indicators that can be 
downloaded from the May 2000 article were written at some later time, and may 
not be a direct copy of what Ehlers wrote.
 
2. The Cycle Length Indicator from the May 2000 
does not agree with the one that can be downloaded for the March 2000 article, 
according to my <FONT 
color=#000000>observations.
 
3. The Sinewave Generator from the May 2000 
download does not agree with the MESA Sinewave indicator that is contained in 
the Metastock indicator list, again according to <FONT 
color=#ff0000>my observations.
 
4. My <FONT 
color=#000000>impression is that someone at Equis who didn't understand the 
article did the programming. They did not talk to John Ehlers about 
this.
 
5. Equis said that their programmers are working on 
other things now, are very busy, and won't be able to look into this anytime 
soon.
 
6. I have found two other errors in Metastock's 
programming lately.
 
7. My overall conclusion is that you shouldn't 
trust any of their indicators; 
program it yourself if possible.
 
Hope that helps. Let me know if you learn anything 
else.
 
Tom

    Generator
    I recently downloaded from the Equis web site 
    the Sinewave Generator described in John Ehlers' May, 2000 TASC article. 
    When I applied it to the Sept 01 Canadian Dollar contract, as well as 
    others, I got a strange looking plot that missed several obvious cycles in 
    the price data. I sent the plot to John Ehlers and he responded that there 
    was an obvious error in the Sinewave Generator. 
     
    I have just notified Equis of this 
    error.
