MetaStock Trading System - Derivative Moving Average

Rev 01/21/97

The information for this test was published in the June 1996 issue of "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities". The test appears in the article "The Derivative Moving Average" by Adam White, page 18. Mr. White describes this test as using a variation of the "tried-and-true simple moving average for entry signals and the "trend analysis index" for exit signals. Note, first you need to create a new indicator called TAI, using the TAI formula below - then create the new system test.

System syntax:

Enter Long: When(Ref(Mov(C,28,S),-1),=,LLV(Mov(C,28,S),4))

Close Long: When(Fml("TAI"),<,0.4) AND When(Ref(Fml("TAI"),-1),>=,0.4)

TAI formula:

((HHV(Mov(C,28,S),5)-LLV(Mov(C,28,S),5))/C)*100
