<DIV><FONT size=2>RT:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Bill Williams has written two books.&nbsp; TC=="Trading Chaos" 
and&nbsp; NTD=="New Trading Dimensions" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The first, TC is a very basic book on trading and determining 
market direction and the mental aspect of how the brain works and effects your 
trading process. He also discusses Elliott Wave in basic form, this is because 
he uses the MACD to determine at a glance which wave your on, so you know now 
versus most Ellioticians often readjusting their 
re-evaluation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>NTD is the book that tells of his system which he built his 
software around.&nbsp; There will be a couple of statements of his work of 
teaching this method on a one on one basis and his internet site.&nbsp; This 
book covers most everything in the first book, but not to much detail as the 
bulk is discussing the indicators and how to use them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>http://www.profitunity.com/&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This is his web 
site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I personally like both books, but my friends say NTD is the 
one to get and forget the other.&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Let me state this also, in relation to the MACD.&nbsp; In the 
fourth wave&nbsp; you will get a sell and an buy signal, using alligator only, 
for a minor lost or gain.&nbsp; But when you use MACD you know this is false so 
you can readjust your strategy.&nbsp; This is not like some think using moving 
averages only and taking buy and sell signals, even tho you would still make 
money, but not picking the tops and bottoms of the markets as he 
describes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>BW uses the three exponential moving averages and 5-34-5 MACD 
an MFI all built around the wave theory.</FONT></DIV>

I introduced a typo in cutting/pasting the previous version.
Here's the corrected copy.

input:ph((h+c+2*L)/2-L),  pl((h+c+2*L)/2-h),
      length(12), length2(12), ToEXIT(0);

buy highest(ph, length2) + 1 point stop; 

if Toexit=1 then
    exitlong lowest(L, length2) stop;

sell lowest(pl,length) - 1 point stop;

if ToEXIT=1 then
   exitshort highest(h,length2) stop;


A reader asked about the highest() and lowest()
functions.  The highext(X, N) function returns
the highest value of X in the last N bars.
Likewise lowest(X, N) returns the lowest value of
X in N bars.

The value of ph above simplifies to (H+C)/2.  The
value of pl simplifies to (c + 2*L - H), which
doesn't look quite right to me.
