Formula - Rate
of Change Since a Specific Date
rev. 05/25/99
The following
formula plots a percent rate of change between a
specific date and today. The user is prompted for
the specific date.This will only work in
MetaStock™ for Windows 95/NT version 6.5 (or
higher) or in MetaStock Professional.
Construct the formula in the Indicator Builder,
giving it the name shown below in bold. All the
text after "FORMULA:" and before
"*END OF FORMULA*" below should be
placed in the Formula field in the Indicator
Builder. Once the indicator has been created, you
can drag it out of the Indicator Quicklist for
placement in an inner-window of your chart.
NAME: ROC Since a Date
FORMULA:
Day1
:= Input("Day",1,31,4);

= Day1 AND Month() = Month1 AND Year() =
Year1, CLOSE))/ ValueWhen(1,DayOfMonth()
= Day1 AND Month() = Month1 AND Year() =
