Steve,

        Nice
summary of Brian's talk.  A couple of additional points:

        The first
line of the calculation should read "bsHigh =bars since swing
high (Strength)"

        Default
values are StartSC = 0.2, Sensitivity (Strength) = 1

        Brian uses
the BWL on EOD stock data

        The
indicator is an exit tool warning of the end of a trend.  Close
above/below the BWL alerts user to monitor position in the morning for
follow through. 

All best,
Charles Marchand

7.  How to calculate the BWL: 

 
bsHigh = bars since swing
(Strength)
bsLow = bars since swing low
(Strength)
p = min(bsHigh, bsLow)
sc = StartSC / p
BWL = (1 - sc) * BWL(previous) + sc *
Price
 
Wow, another lagging indicator that behaves
similar to a 21 day simple moving average.  Since the implementation
of this indicator is totally subjective and it's not used as a timing
device...personally, I can't find a use for it in my work.
 
I hope I didn't violate the spirit of this
presentation.  Brian is a real pleasant guy.  I think I have
the calculations correct.  I took notes with a crayon and I spilled
my gin and tonic on the handout he supplied....so, this is my best
shot.
 
Take care,
 
Steve
