Well, Steve old boy, I've searched far and wide, and I can't seem to
find much of your work available for free. I've found a lot of hype
though.
Your site:
http://www.thedailytrade.com/
PaySite.
"Check out the Denver Trading Group: http://www.denvertradinggroup.
com/ the largest trading group in the world."
PaySite.
"All I'm saying is that nobody has to pay anything for indicators or
trading systems."
You don't need to say that here because... this is *not* a PaySite.
"BTW, check out all the promotional goodies that Equis sends out to
their prospective clients (the video). Recognize any of the frontmen/
women?
Yes, a freebie - but somehow I doubt this self-promotional video is
going to help anyone improve their trading.
"I give it all away ... for free."
Ok, let's take a look at this little free gem, a simple variation of
Standard Deviation histogram, with your name attached to it.
{Bollinger Band Histogram Karnish}
((C+2*Std(C,20) - Mov(C,20,S)) / (4*Std(C,20)))*4 - 2
For someone that preaches simplicity, it beats me why you've cluttered
up the MS code with unnecessary complexity:
(C+Std(C,20)-Mov(C,20,S))/Std(C,20)-1
Creating useful indicators is not about making them more complex, but
more useful to the potential trader.
The oscillator above could be improved a tad by introducing adjustable
inputs (not everyone trades the same style), a more "natural" -
100~+100% range (allows direct comparisons between different charts),
and self-adjusting overbought/oversold levels (not every chart has the
same volatility & trend characteristics):
---8<----------------------
pds:=Input("Std Dev periods",1,252,20);
x:=(C+Std(C,pds)-Mov(C,pds,S))/Std(C,pds)-1;
Osc:=(x-Lowest(x))
/(Highest(x)-Lowest(x)+.000001)*100;
avg:=Cum(Osc)/Cum(IsDefined(Osc));
pk:=Ref(Osc,-1)=HHV(Osc,3)
AND Ref(Osc,-1)>avg;
pkv:=ValueWhen(1,pk,Ref(Osc,-1));
Osold:=Cum(pkv)/Cum(IsDefined(pkv));
tr:=Ref(Osc,-1)=LLV(Osc,3)
AND Ref(Osc,-1)<avg;
trv:=ValueWhen(1,tr,Ref(Osc,-1));
Obought:=Cum(trv)/Cum(IsDefined(trv));
Osold;Obought;Osc
---8<----------------------
Personally from a trader's point of view, I see nothing exceptionally
helpful about this choppy oscillator. I doubt you need to worry about
this one being hijacked by the black box brigade.
The point here is, that code at this level of simplicity should be
freely available, and not hidden behind paysites.
Steve, prior to your hijacking of this thread for your own self-
promotion, a very useful site that has useful MS code freely available
was mentioned. No password or subscription is needed to obtain any of
the very useful indicators there, and it just happens that the site's
owner has most likely given away more "free stuff" and more of his
time, than everyone else put together in this usergroup.
MetaStock Tips & Tricks - Free stuff, no promotional videos, and a
very useful monthly MetaStock newsletter.

the overall trading program (but, it is a system with absolutely no

they should investigate what is around .... for free.
