I'm not a programer and I'm trying to figure out how this formula works.
when you use the command >lowest(c)< I take that to mean the lowest
close. But how many closes is it looking at? It appears to me that a
value of 1 or -1 is being applied depending on if the close is 4%
above the lowest close or 4% below the highest close, but I'm not sure
how far back the system is looking.
If somone wouldn't mind a very brief explananation of what that
program is doing along with the Close issue I'd appreciate it.
