Hi - although I've been using this custom formula indicator for a long time on telechart, its been quite a while since I've been active with formulas and I've forgotten the syntax.  I'm trying to translate this formula over to another charting system I'm also using and need a little help.

So with this formula:

L<((3.05*MINL15.7)-MAXH7.3)/2 AND STOC12.5<10 AND L<L1

What does 3.05*MINL15.7 mean?

on STOC12.5 what does the 12.5 mean?  (12 periods 5 smoothing?)

I read the syntax help page but couldn't figure it out.

 

Thanks!

ben

L<((3.05*MINL15.7) is true when the current bar low less than 3.05 times greater than the 15 period low as of 7 bars ago.

STOC12.5 is a stochastic with a period of 12 and %K of 5
