Ron,this Metastock version of the probability cones does not include an
interest rate parameter.  What it does permit you to do is create a cone
based on the VIX which as you know is derived from OEX options.  Of course
everyday brings new expectations and thus a new cone.  Some grid lines have
been placed on an expanded cone starting from Wednesday's close for you to
make comparison with your technique.  The interesting thing, but not
surprising thing is the VIX cone contained prices much better than the
historical lookback cone.  A .gif will be emailed to your aol address if
you still have it.
