Thanks Preston.

 

I had run the version  that appeared in 7/2007 of TASC and found that the
results were quite similar to  an MACD.

 

I?ll give your code a trial.

 

Warm regards

 

Lionel

In 2005 I posted this original code from Active Trader's Mag

HYPERLINK
"http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/equismetastock/message/15932"http://f
inance.groups.yahoo.com/group/equismetastock/message/15932

At the time I didn't feel the code had any merit and even advised 
using only part of it(VPR). The reason was that the code from the 
magazine used the short lookback periods rather than the longer 
periods to calculate the VPC. The correct code should be:

{VPCI}
{Vol Price Confirmation Index}
{Active Trader March 2005}
Pds:=input("periods",1,500,12);
Pdsa:=input("longterm vol periods",1,500,50);
VPC:=mov(c,pdsa,vol)-mov(c,pdsa,s);
VPR:= (mov(c,pds,vol)/mov(c,pds,s))*VPC;
VM:= mov(v,pds,s)/mov(v,pdsa,s);
VPCI:=(VPC*VPR)*VM;
VPCI

I realized this after reading Wabbit's code at

HYPERLINK
"http://forum.equis.com/forums/thread/24511.aspx"http://forum.equis.com/foru
ms/thread/24511.aspx

and a pdf from the Charles Dow Award site which Bill Trudeau found. 
It's the 2007 award.

"https://www.mta.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?webcode=CharlesDowAward"https://w
ww.mta.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?webcode=CharlesDowAward

The pdf was a great find and helps to explain the idea that Buff 
Dormeier had behind the indicator. 

Enjoy,

Preston
