The last time I looked at this I thought it was impossible in MetaStock. Now
that I know how to create an equity line I would put in in the "very hard"
category, though not necessarily impossible. The major problem is working
out how to feed back a result (from the curve) as an input. This can be done
by using PREV within a variable, but there is no comparable function to do
the same for a multiple variable indicator.

Nice to know somebody actually reads my posts from time to time : )
