[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: mov(positive integers only)

["Jose Silva" <josesilva22@xxxxxxxxx>]

Terry, the posted indicator shows the *average* closing price 
difference in up (and down) bars, as set out in your original request:

"[if(c>ref(c,-1),c-ref(c,-1),0)]"


For ATR Up/Down bars,
 change:
---8<----------------
diff:=If(type=1,C-Ref(C,-1),
 (C/Ref(C,-1)-1)*100);
---8<----------------

to:
---8<----------------
diff:=ATR(1);
---8<----------------

Once you've adjusted the indicator code to measure ATR instead of C-
Ref(C,-1), for strict (un-smoothed) ATR Up/Down bars set the SMA 
periods to "1".

For additional help on this matter, please consider employing the 
professional services of a competent MetaStock programmer.
