Thanks Roy and Jose for clarifying that.
Looking at this example in MS coding functions :
MACD () function produces the same as the following code:
mp1:=Input("Short MA",1,377,12);
mp2:=Input("Long MA",1,377,26);
Mov(C ,mp1 ,E )- Mov(C ,mp2 ,E )
So any expert MS expert know the basic code of Peak () and Trough ()
functions ?
Regards, Hani :)
