Futures Mag Indicator - Std Dev in Volatility Oscillator Formula?
In the Nov Futures mag there
is an indicator called the Volatility
Oscillator which consists of three parts: 1) The
daily change in
closing price, 2) 5-day avg of the daily closing
price changes, 3) the
daily change in the standard deviation of the
10-day avg closing price.
I've got the first 2 plotted, no problem. Could
someone help w/the
code for the third part, the std dev? Here is how
it's written in the
article:
STD[mean(day^1:day^10] ~n
STD[mean(day^0:day^9)]
Except the ~ symbol is actually over the letter
"n".
I never got past Algebra I, so this is beyond moi.
I know MS has a Std
Dev indicator, but I don't know how to code it.
Thanks for any help,
Harold
