I do not understand how MS is being rendered in the PCFs.

Example: I’m using MSFT and plotting price and MS.

On a daily 6-month daily chart, MS for today (9/21/12) is 0.9k. I now create a PCF with only MS in the formula. It should yield 0.9k when I click on Test Symbol MSFT. Instead, I get 37.3.

Next, on the 6-month daily chart, the low of MS is around 735 and the high is around 1.2k. If I put Min(MS, 125) into the PCF, it returns -253.73. If I put Max(MS, 125) into the PCF it returns 171.06.

What’s going on????

MoneyStream (MS) is a cumulative indicator. Like other cumulative indicators such as On Balance Volume (OBV), its actual value is completely meaningless. The Dealing with OBV & MS in PCF's - how to interp their "values" topic explores how to correctly use cumulative indicators in Personal Criteria Formulas.
