Philip and I discussed this indicator privately yesterday, and he has
some very valid points here. I have to admit to making some slight
modifications to it, so the one that I use is not the "official"
version as sold by "Street Smarts" publishers, but the concepts are
the same as explained in the book. I prefer to translate concepts into
code using my interpretation, rather than others. It just gives me a
better "feel" for what it is doing.
But this does require further investigation. I was wondering if
anybody on this list is a subscriber to Linda Raschke's fax service.
I'd like to obtain a history of her calls with this indicator to
compare
it to mine.
In regards to the indicator displayed on the chart, keep in mind that
it is a 200 minute chart, not a daily. Were you looking at it on a
200? If not, I'd suggest trying it and see if it is still "jumpy". To
be honest, I just put this indicator on the chart a couple of weeks
ago. I'm trying to see how it fits in with the other "cycle"
indicators that I use. So far, the jury is still out, but I see some
potential.
I would be interested in more discussion on this too!
