All:
I have a Metastock formula question using the ref function.
I want to graph the slope of a moving average. Here are two
possible formulas. Do they have the same affect?
#1
SMA:=Mov(CLOSE,10,S);
SMA-Ref(SMA,-1);
#2
Mov(CLOSE,10,S)-Mov(Ref(CLOSE,-1),10,S);
The bigger question is does it matter where I apply the Ref
function? Either the ref -1 when calculating the second
moving average shown in example #2, or doing a ref -1 on the
results of the first moving average shown in example #1?
This becomes an issue when dealing with complicated formulas
such as a sine moving average or an adaptive moving average.
Example #1 is easier to code and understand.
I hope that my question is clear.
Thanks.
Bob
