[EquisMetaStock Group] Phased MA for MetaStock



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

My last posted code may have generated some confusion - better to change 
"JMA" for "PMA" just in case some of these good people get upset:

JMA Inc.
JMA Forensics
JMA Groups
JMA Graphics
JMA Software
JMA Legal
JMA Consulting
JMA Engineering
Japan Medical Association
Japan Meteorological Agency
Japan Management Association
Japan Marketing Association
Jamaica Manufacturers' Association
John Mitchell & Associates
Jurik Moving Average


MetaStock -> Tools -> Indicator Builder -> New
-> copy & paste complete formula between "---8<---" lines.
