Hi,
I originally posted this formula from an article written by Joe Sharp in
January 2000 Tech analysis of Stocks & Commodities and coded by by Cheryl
Elton of Equis International for TASC's Traders Tips.
The original code is available here:-
http://www.traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/Archive/012000/TradersTips/
TradersTips.html#meta
And here is the MetaStock Text & Code that is available on that page:
"
METASTOCK:-
To recreate in MetaStock 6.52 or higher the modified moving average as
explained by Joe Sharp in "More Responsive Moving Averages" elsewhere in
this issue, select "Indicator Builder" from the Tools menu, click "New" and
enter the following code, according to the desired period:
Name: Modified Moving Average
For a two-period average:
N:=2;
TN:=Mov(C,N,S);
s1:=((n-1)/2)*C+((n-3)/2)*Ref(C,-1); y2:=TN+(6*S1)/((n+1)*n); y2
For a three-period average:
N:=3;
TN:=Mov(C,N,S);
s1:=((n-1)/2)*C+((n-3)/2)*Ref(C,-1)+((n-5)/2)*Ref(C,-2);
y2:=TN+(6*S1)/((n+1)*n); y2
For a four-period average:
N:=4;
TN:=Mov(C,N,S);
s1:=((n-1)/2)*C+((n-3)/2)*Ref(C,-1)+((n-5)/2)*Ref(C,-2)+((n-7)/2)*Ref(C,-3);
y2:=TN+(6*S1)/((n+1)*n); y2
For a 10-period average:
N:=10;
TN:=Mov(C,N,S);
s1:=((n-1)/2)*C+((n-3)/2)*Ref(C,-1)+((n-5)/2)*Ref(C,-2)+((n-7)/2)*Ref(C,-3)
+((n-9)/2)*Ref(C,-4)+((n-11)/2)*Ref(C,-5)+((n-13)/2)*Ref(C,-6)
+((n-15)/2)*Ref(C,-7)+((n-17)/2)*Ref(C,-8)+((n-19)/2)*Ref(C,-9);
y2:=TN+(6*S1)/((n+1)*n); y2 "
I hope this helps.
PS The NZ on the end of the name Zlagemanz must refer to where I hail from
which was at the end of my original posting.
Regards from a long time lurker.

This indicator works fine as a zero lag ema if you use the default 10 time
periods.
I tried to run this indicator with 2 different time periods, something like
a price oscillator. When I tried to run it with a different number of
periods, the one that was already plotted changed to conform to the new time
period.
When I tried to run the indicator in a separate window, with the intention
of dragging onto the price chart, the same thing happened. Both Zlagemas had
the same time period.
Does anyone know how to change the code so that I can run this indicator
with 2 different time periods on the same chart?
