Mark,
Why would I want to provide all those parameters to TW.CalcFormula for
a moving average of closes. You specify close twice, along with unrelated
items such as volume, open interest, high, etc. This makes the code for a
simple moving average of closes very non-intuitive and unecessarily complex
for the task, at hand. I understand your comment regarding consistency
between different types of moving average calculations but your syntax looks
ugly considering the simplicity of what is being performed.
I am also puzzled why the parameter order in part reads hi,lo,open,close.
I usually see the order open,hi,low,close. Is this a new standard??
