[EquisMetaStock Group] Historical Trendlines and Breakouts, by D. Tsokakis, Oct2003

["arun103" <arun103@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Preston

I've found the following trendline formula in one of the metastock 
websites. I pasted it, as it is, but metastock indicator builder 
doesn't accept it. I get the message: "This is not a recongnized 
name, constant or operator". 

Can you correct it for me or send the correct formula?

x = Cum(1);
per = 3;// CALIBRATE THE ZIG() SENSITIVITY 
s1=L;s11=H;
pS = TroughBars( s1, per, 1 ) == 0;
endt=SelectedValue(ValueWhen( pS, x ,1));
startt=SelectedValue(ValueWhen( pS, x ,2));
dtS =endt-startt;
endS = SelectedValue((ValueWhen( pS, s1,1) ));
startS = SelectedValue(( ValueWhen( pS, s1 ,2)));
aS = (endS-startS)/dtS;bS = endS;
trendlineS = aS * ( x -endt ) + bS;//SUPPORT LINE 
pR = PeakBars( s11, per, 1 ) == 0;
endt1= SelectedValue(ValueWhen( pR, x, 1));
startt1=SelectedValue(ValueWhen( pR, x, 2 ));
dtR =endt1-startt1;
endR = SelectedValue(ValueWhen( pR, s11, 1 ) );
startR = SelectedValue( ValueWhen( pR, s11, 2 ));
aR = (endR-startR)/dtR;bR = endR;
trendlineR = aR * ( x -endt1 ) + bR;//RESISTANCE LINE 
first=Min(startt,startt1);Last=Max(endt,endt1);
d=10;// INCREASE d TO EXTEND THE LINES
