So, after an important assist from John CW and an "Aha!" moment about constants (0.1 vs. 0.25) here is the snippet of code that I am using. I am satisfied that it captures Mr. Ehlers' intentions, but I think it might be interesting to average the peak and trough values discretely. To wit, store the past n troughs (peaks) in a ring buffer and use the average of the buffer.
Many thanks to those who helped out.
John
