Errors in RSI calculations

["onno goedknegt" <o.goedknegt@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi mark,

i was wondering the same thing.
but it seems metastock uses wilders' smoothing in stead of the normal 
simple moving average:

A:=Input("RSI periods",2,50,14);
B:=C; {RSI target array}
U:=Wilders(If(B>Ref(B,-1),B-Ref(B,-1),0),A);
D:=Wilders(If(B<Ref(B,-1),Ref(B,-1)-B,0),A);
100-(100/(1+(U/D)));

I'm running Metastock 7.02 with end of day data.  I can't seem to get 
Metastock's RSI to calculate correctly.  Has anyone else had this 
problem?

Thanks.

Mark
