ecow,
Mark Brown on the Elite Trader board swears that its
((High - Open) + (Close - Low)) / (2 * (High - Low))
You would likely get a division error if you use it.
The rewritten version below should work fine:
{S&P Oscillator}
{by MarkBrown on EliteTrader}
((HIGH-OPEN)+(CLOSE-LOW))/
Max((2*(HIGH-LOW)),.000001);
The S&P oscillator is supposed to be "proprietary".
The likelihood that Mark's version is correct would certainly be
questionable.
Is there anything comparable to what is listed above? The Stochastic
and the StochRsi that Steve Karnish posted just recently quickly come
to mind.
Hope this helps,
Preston
