Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] "AND" operands to functions instead of "OR"

Mike,
 
For Q1, you could use Alert(opposite-condition,5)=0 so that 
if the condition is false on one or more days, than the alert function is 
true, therefore the overall value if false. I've probably used too many 
negatives, but hopefully you get the idea.

  Hi 
  Guys,
  <SPAN 
  class=039283006-17072003> 
  2 questions 
  here...
  <SPAN 
  class=039283006-17072003>1/
  Trying to find a 
  way to have a test condition check for a match on all data periods 
  in the array, rather than just 'one' which passes within the defined 
  period.
  <SPAN 
  class=039283006-17072003> 
  ie; the 'Alert' 
  function for instance passes if 'any' of the periods defined match the test 
  conditions. Is there a way to define a test condition whereby ALL of the 
  defined periods have to pass? 
  A condition 
  must be true over all of 5 periods.. instead of being held true even if it's 
  true on only one of the periods. A manual way of doing this is using the REF 
  function, but it's very laborious if testing anymore than just a few periods 
  as it has to be tested for each of the historical periods 
  referenced. 
  <SPAN 
  class=039283006-17072003>2/
  'When' 
  function.
  This is not 
  defined in the list of functions, and not referenced in the help files. 
  However, I have a formula that uses it, but the function itself is not defined 
  specifically yet Metastock accepts and uses it?? ..are there any more like 
  this?.. and any help / explanation files around for it (would like to be able 
  to see what it's doing).
  <SPAN 
  class=039283006-17072003>
