Bruce,

I'm trying to replicate an indicator for testing.  It's being marketed under the name "X Pattern" and the generic formula is this:

Green line = (indicator Periods - Periods since highest high within Indicator Periods) / Indicator Periods) * 100

Red Line = (indicator Periods - Periods since lowest low within Indicator Periods) / Indicator Periods) * 100

I found the day count thread from way back and want to use that as a base.  However, the formula is so complicated I'm not sure I did the conversion correctly.  So can you help me nail down a version of the generic formulas above based on "20 indicator periods".

Here is what I have now:

Green Line:

( (20 - ( ABS(H < MAXH20) * (ABS(H1 = MAXH20) + ABS(H1 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H2 = MAXH20) * 2 + ABS(H2 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H3 = MAXH20) * 3 + ABS(H3 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H4 = MAXH20) * 4 + ABS(H4 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H5 = MAXH20) * 5 + ABS(H5 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H6 = MAXH20) * 6 + ABS(H6 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H7 = MAXH20) * 7 + ABS(H7 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H8 = MAXH20) * 8 + ABS(H8 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H9 = MAXH20) * 9 + ABS(H9 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H10 = MAXH20) * 10 + ABS(H10 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H11 = MAXH20) * 11 + ABS(H11 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H12 = MAXH20) * 12 + ABS(H12 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H13 = MAXH20) * 13 + ABS(H13 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H14 = MAXH20) * 14 + ABS(H14 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H15 = MAXH20) * 15 + ABS(H15 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H16 = MAXH20) * 16 + ABS(H16 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H17 = MAXH20) * 17 + ABS(H17 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H18 = MAXH20) * 18 + ABS(H18 < MAXH20) * (ABS(H19 = MAXH20) * 19))))))))))))))))))) ) ) / 20) * 100

Red Line:

( (20 - ( ABS(L > MINL20) * (ABS(L1 = MINL20) + ABS(L1 > MINL20) * (ABS(L2 = MINL20) * 2 + ABS(L2 > MINL20) * (ABS(L3 = MINL20) * 3 + ABS(L3 > MINL20) * (ABS(L4 = MINL20) * 4 + ABS(L4 > MINL20) * (ABS(L5 = MINL20) * 5 + ABS(L5 > MINL20) * (ABS(L6 = MINL20) * 6 + ABS(L6 > MINL20) * (ABS(L7 = MINL20) * 7 + ABS(L7 > MINL20) * (ABS(L8 = MINL20) * 8 + ABS(L8 > MINL20) * (ABS(L9 = MINL20) * 9 + ABS(L9 > MINL20) * (ABS(L10 = MINL20) * 10 + ABS(L10 > MINL20) * (ABS(L11 = MINL20) * 11 + ABS(L11 > MINL20) * (ABS(L12 = MINL20) * 12 + ABS(L12 > MINL20) * (ABS(L13 = MINL20) * 13 + ABS(L13 > MINL20) * (ABS(L14 = MINL20) * 14 + ABS(L14 > MINL20) * (ABS(L15 = MINL20) * 15 + ABS(L15 > MINL20) * (ABS(L16 = MINL20) * 16 + ABS(L16 > MINL20) * (ABS(L17 = MINL20) * 17 + ABS(L17 > MINL20) * (ABS(L18 = MINL20) * 18 + ABS(L18 > MINL20) * (ABS(L19 = MINL20) * 19))))))))))))))))))) ) ) / 20) * 100

Thanks a ton in advance (I know this one is complicated.

There are some minor variances, but the plots look the same as Aroon set to 20 periods.

Its the Aroon Indicator.

 

In the video I saw they used a 100 period length.

 

 

Thanks
