[Metastockusers] Re: Shifted moving average

Whatever works is what you should use, obviously, but the 3x3 formula 
(ala DiNapoli's "double repo" pattern) is plotted shifting BACK 3 
periods ref(mov(c,3,s),-3). Explorer will choke on forward references 
& refuse to run.

Drummond's PLDOT is the same way, shifting back 1 period from a 3 
period moving average of mp() ref(mov(mp(),3,s),-1). Drummond looks 
for a cross of the close from this line after a minimum of 3 bars 
above or below it. He then measures the distance from the low of the 
crossing bar & the preceding high & subtracts it from the low of the 
crossing bar, & the distance from the high of the crossing bar to the 
low of the preceding bar and adds it to the high of the crossing 
bar...the result defines a range that price should travel until the 
next 3x1 crossing event. Any move outside this range SHOULD return 
fairly quickly UNLESS there's a strong trend. The creative among us 
might do well to vary the number of bars required and the % distance.
