[EquisMetaStock Group] Missing days clarification explained (formatted in HTML) D'oh!

[Conrad Smith <conradfsmith3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Prestion,
    Actually, the formula that I wrote (based off your info) give the results
I wanted.  Put the formula in MS and give both versions a try.  What mine does is chart a 13 day
EMA and another EMA that is the 13 day EMA minus a 5 day EMA.

    In order to get that last part,  I get the difference of 13 EMA - 5
EMA

A:= Mov(C,13,E);
B:= Mov(C,5,E);
X:= A - B;

    Now I take that difference and minus it from the full 13 EMA to get the
EMA that is the 13 EMA - 5 EMA.  I don't want to plot the difference, I want to plot the deducted
13 EMA.
As for having too many minuses in the formula, you are most certainly correct.
If you plot the formula:
MAP:= Input("Moving Average Periods", 2, 365, 13); 
Displacement:= Input("Periods Back", 2, 365, 5); 

A:= Mov(C,MAP,E); 
B:= Mov(Ref(C, Displacement),MAP,E) 

A; 
B; 

You will see that second EMA stops five days back (assuming a minus period of five days), which
you would expect, because (for example) today's minused EMA could not generate until five days in
the future, so I have to guess at the plots based off the recent prices.

I hope this helps to make it clear what I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks!
