Ron,

Many thanks for this idea. <span

Thanks for your ideas,
I only wish I was sufficiently familiar with the MetaStock programming language
to be able to apply them.

 

Cheers,

Barry

I think you can do it by brute force something
like:

C1:=max((max(mov(c,10,s),mov(c,11,s)),(max(mov(c,12,s),mov(c,13,s));
C2:=max((max(mov(c,14,s),mov(c,15,s)),(max(mov(c,16,s),mov(c,17,s));
C3:=max((max(mov(c,18,s),mov(c,19,s)),(max(mov(c,20,s),mov(c,21,s));
C4:=max((max(mov(c,22,s),mov(c,23,s)),(max(mov(c,24,s),mov(c,25,s));
C5:=max((max(mov(c,26,s),mov(c,27,s)),(max(mov(c,28,s),mov(c,29,s));
C6:=max(c1,c2);
C7:=max(C3,c4);
C8:=max(C5,mov(c,30,s));
c9:=max(c6,c7);
c10:=max(c8,c9);
cmax<font

I didn't test it, but I think you can get the
idea.
