wabbit:Your have still have failed to provide proof that your implementation is the ''truest definition'' of the Darvas method as requested. You can go on requesting all you like, but I'm not the least interested in spending scarce resources (time) to prove anything to someone who obviously does not understand neither trading nor the ...

wabbit:A very brief search found three different implementations that all produce different results, from each other and from the code posted at the link above.  The code at the links below all start plotting a new box high three bars after the new period high (including the high bar in the ...

...as when wrong-doers often use various obfuscation techniques to impede/thwart investigation.Noone has implied your code is confused or evasive...anything else is just another interpretation that changes the originalHmmm... some contradictions there. ... or edit your post because it is misleading.My post stands - at least until someone comes up

wabbit:...the obfuscation of the recipe.Obfuscation or interpretation? Whilst it is exemplary to see you put your newly-found word into practice, perhaps you should research its meaning prior to any attempts at labeling any of my MetaStock code with it. j '-)

Excellent humor, Liadan! :-D jose '-)

wabbit:If this works, there should be a figure showing the Darvas Box by the code in the link you provided. Wabbit, if you need pictures to understand MetaStock code, perhaps you should then consider another hobby. j '-)

You can find the truest definition (by far) of the Darvas box and signals, together with MetaStock indicator code, within this documentation. jose '-)

Just like the ZigZag, Centered Moving Averages (CMA) and Detrended Price Oscillators (DPO) have their use in past trends and pattern recognition. You can find MetaStock code for almost any CMA from the free formula section at MetaStockTools.com. jose '-)

Try this code with simple Division by Zero error-traping: ------------------------------------- range:=Max(H-L,.000001);net:= If(H=L, If(C>Ref(C,-1),1, If(C<Ref(C,-1),-1,0)),(C-O)/range); Cum(net*V) -------------------------------------   jose '-)

Derek, check out these indicators from MetaStockTools.com's formulae collection: 2-point plot - coding example of 2-point, x/y line plot - useful for creating automatic chart trendlines. TrendLine - adjustable automatic trendline. TrendLine-dates - date-adjustable chart trendline. Benchmark trendline - plots a performance benchmark trendline ...

Bill, take a look at this intraday pivots indicator, and adjust its { Day's start } section to signal weekly or monthly starts. jose '-)

Derek Worswick:pr:=(power(cosinepart,2))+(power(sinpart,2)); How do I then set up the value of dynamic variable “pr” ========== Power - variable ========== ------------------------------------ { Power(DataArray,VariablePower) MS function. With thanks to MG Ferreira. http://www.metastocktools.com } { Data array } DataArray:=C; { Variable ...

My KISS code plots exactly as ''your'' original, and I have no time nor desire to go through fixing your subsequent amateurish attempts at MetaStock programming. Give it up, Preston - you are well out of your depth here. You have absolutely no idea as to what you are doing, even though you continue to adapt my code and re-badge it as your ...

pumrysh:Your code could have been simplified even further to just 2 lines of code.Heck, why not just make it one line of code then? { Plot restriction } restricted:=Ref(Ref(x,-backPds),backPds)*ValueWhen(1,Cum(1)=LastValue(Cum(1))-totPds-backPds,1); There is a reason why I've used 3 lines of code, and it involves helping MetaStock users ...

Whilst recently looking around for poorly written MetaStock code to use as an example for demonstrating the KISS principle (an acronym for ''Keep It Simple, Stupid''), I came across this gem: -------------------------------------------- {Restricted Display} {Written by Preston Umrysh} {Displays an indicator for a specified period of ...
