Jose,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately, its hard to interpret as it
generates -1, 0 and +1 values. Besides, its important to understand that
when Nison refers to "high", it means the close of the higher white bar.
Opposite for "low". Thus, a small correction would be:
NuHi:= C>Ref(C,-1);
NuWhite:=NuHi AND C>ValueWhen(2,NuHi,C);
NuLo:= C<Ref(C,-1);
NuBlack:= NuLo AND C<ValueWhen(2,NuLo,C);
But that's not all, as NuWhite can also be a Close higher than the highest
Close of the 3 black bars (indicating a trend reversal). It gets
complicated...
Realizing that the info given in MS program help is grossly inadequate, I
have uploaded a pdf file (3-line break info) I created from the relevant
pages from Nison's book (after I xeroxed them) to the forum's files; its 2.4
MB so is difficult to send via email. I apologize for the quality, but I
think you will find reading them very useful. Hopefully, you can find some
time to modify the code.
