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

["Mike Loveday" <mike.loveday@xxxxxx>]

A big THANKS to Peter, Roy, and 
Gordon. My limitation here has been my mastery of the Metastock formula 
language. You have all helped me up to the next step, using some of 
these "absolute" conditions (i guess you could call them that) in 
relation to Alert and Sum, is really interesting! I like the name too 
Gordon!
 
Thanks guys, 

 
Mike

  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? 
    <SPAN 
    class=039283006-17072003>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).

    class=039283006-17072003>
