BRUCE,

   In the following post a fx for MIN 13D FORCE. ?? Can you write a fx for MAX 2D FORCE (LAST 15 DAYS)??

THANKS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce,

I assume the request is for a PCF equivalent to the form:

XAVGC13.0 < XAVGC13.1
AND XAVGC13.0 < XAVGC13.2
AND ...
AND XAVGC13.0 < XAVGC13.9

with C replaced by (C-C1)*V.

The direct method would require 18 series expansions of the EMAs.  We will show that it can be done with 9 series expansions of the EMAs  and 9 truncated series expansions of the EMAs.  The number of terms in the 9 truncated series expansions is 1,2,...,9.

The series expansion for XAVGCP is:

(1-a)*(a^0*C0+a^1*C1+...+a^k*Ck+...)

where a = (P-1)/(P+1).  Let XAVGCP.Q,R represent XAVGCP.Q with the series portion truncated to R terms, i.e., XAVGCP.Q,R is defined to be:

(1-a)*(a^0*CQ+a^1*C(Q+1)+...+a^(R-1)*C(Q+R-1))

Theorem:  Define a = (P-1)/(P+1).  Then, for N < M,

XAVGP.N - XAVGCP.M = XAVGP.N,(M-N) - (1-a^(M-N))*XAVGCP.M

As an application of the Theorem, let P = 13, N = 2. M = 7.  Then,

XAVG13.2 - XAVGC13.7

is equivalent to:

(1-6/7)
*(C2+6/7
*(C3+6/7
*(C4+6/7
*(C5+6/7
*(C6)))))
-(1-(6/7)^5)*XAVGC13.7

An application of the Theorem to each of the 9 inequalities results in each of the Cs replaced by (C-C1)*V being written only once and then in a particularly simple form.

For better accuracy, I would be inclined to approximate the infinite series of only XAVGC13.9.

I do not believe we can simplify more than I have indicated.

Your comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

No, it is not a formula, it is an explanation of a technique for attempting to shorten a formula to hopefully make it practical (and it's not enough to make it short enough to be practical for either the original or new request).

MIN FORCE FORMUAL

I would seriously suggest considering Blocks if you are still interested in finding this Value.

Bruce,

   Can you go along with me although incorrect.  The fx I listed DOES an excellent job of finding entries for LONG positions.  IFFFF you had to reverse translate it for SHORTS what would you change: 1+6/7; (Cx-6/7)???

   Thank you

Are you using the following as the formula for LONG positions?

(1-6/7)
*(C2+6/7
*(C3+6/7
*(C4+6/7
*(C5+6/7
*(C6)))))
-(1-(6/7)^5)*XAVGC13.7

If so, it is the same as:

XAVGC13.2 - XAVGC13.7

I'm not sure how you would translate that to a formula for SHORT positions. For one, I don't know how you would be using the formula. Additionally, the trainers can't give setting, interpretation or investment advice. I guess you could switch which term comes first:

XAVGC13.7 - XAVGC13.2

But the absolute value of the formula would be the same, only the sign would change.
