Thanks for jumping in to help.
I can write very simple formulas in metastock, but This
is something I was looking for help on.
THe sentence is part of a formula I copied from some website
a few years ago. It uses the prev function. Because the formula
function "prev" references itself, it "cheats".
It is part of a binary formula. When the market switches above a
certain percent gain, or loss, the binary switches. But due to
the "prev" function it shows it switched a couple of days before it
actually did. I hope I am not making this more confusing to you.
I would like to use the close, like ref(c,-1), but when I tried
it, I knew I screwed up something, as it doesn't work. I tried this ,
below:
If((c*.97)>ref(c,-1)*.97,if((c*1.03)<ref(c,-1)*1.03,ref(c,-1));
The above doesn't work. Can you fix it?
Thanks,
Fred
