Thanks for the reply. I think I've got the McClellan Osc right, but it's
the McClellan Summation Index that I'm having a problem with. Any thoughts
on that?

John,
Sorry. I jumped too soon with my first reply. I think your initital comment
about a "starting point" is right on. As I understand it, the summation
index absolute value depends on just when you started the summation process.
If you are comparing it to somebody else's summatin index, the only way I
think you'll get yours and theirs to match is to add a "constant" to yours to
match the other "summation index" number at some specific date. After that
they should match, given the same data used for the calculation. I have
found that different sources for the adv/decl data quote different values. I
haven't been able to sort out "why" they differ or even which one is
"correct".
