Usually, a technique that references a previous value of itself will specify
the starting value of MD on the first bar. For example:
inputs: k( .6 ), period( 9 ) ;
vars: MD( 0 ) ;
if CurrentBar = 1 then
MD = Close { close in this illustration could be replaced with any
appropriate value }
else begin
if K <> 0 and MD[ 1 ] <> 0 then
MD = MD[ 1 ] + ( c - MD[ 1 ] ) / K * period * power( ( c / MD[ 1 ] ),
4 ) ;
end ;
plot1( MD, "MD" ) ;

How will MD[1] ever get to be anything but Zero.
