Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Category 3 resistance pattern - is my codes ok?

Hi! Dusant & Jose,

I know that using the Ref(bingo,3) is actually forward-reference 
because of the +ve parameter. Like I mentioned earlier, when I used 
"bingo" as the last statement in my codes a signal (spike) is plotted 
on the 7th. day, which is correct. But if I used "Ref(bing0,-3)" then 
a signal (spike) is plotted on the 10th. day instead of on the 4th. 
day! However when I used "Ref(bingo,3)" the signal (spike) is plotted 
on the 4th. day - which is what I wanted to see visually on the chart.

What I don't understand is when I used a +ve parameter in the Ref 
function the signal is plotted BACKWARD whereas if I use a -ve 
parameter in the Ref function the signal is plotted FORWARD! 

Hope you guys can help me clear my doubt.

Best regards,
ALM
