Bill Heinz requested some Easy Language code for Dr. Tuschar Chande's "VIDYA" indicator. The indicator is described in Chapter 3 of Dr. Chande's book "The New Technical Trader". Basically, VIDYA is an adaptive exponential moving average. The adaptation speed is determined by market momentum, as measured by "AbsCMO", the absolute value of the Chande Momentum Oscillator.

First, create a user function called VIDYA, as follows:



Type : Function, Name : VIDYA

Input: Price(numericseries), CMOLen(numeric), VIDYALen(numeric),
Speed(numeric);

Var: Cnt(0),SumUp(0), SumDn(0), Diff(0),VIDYAPri(0),AbsCMO(0),Const(0);

SumUp = 0;
SumDn = 0;

For Cnt = 0 to CMOLen-1 Begin
Diff = Price[Cnt] - Price[Cnt+1];
If Diff > 0 then SumUp = SumUp + Diff else SumDn=SumDn-Diff;
End;

AbsCMO = Speed*AbsValue((SumUp-SumDn)/(SumUp+SumDn));
Const = 2/(VIDYALen+1);

VIDYA = iff(Barnumber>VIDYALen,(Price*Const*AbsCMO) +
((1-AbsCMO*Const)*VIDYA[1]),Price);




Now create the indicator, using the following code:



Type : Indicator, Name : VIDYA

Input: Price(TypicalPrice), CMOLen(9), VIDYALen(12), UBandPct(1),
LBandPct(1),Speed(1);

Var: PlotVal(0);

PlotVal = VIDYA(Price,CMOLen,VIDYALen, Speed);

If PlotVal > 0 then begin
Plot1(PlotVal,"VIDYA");
Plot2((1 + UBandPct*.01)*PlotVal,"Upper Band");
Plot3((1 - LBandPct*.01)*PlotVal,"Lower Band");
End;






Note: The "speed" input is a little addition I made. Something to experiment with. Try using values between 1 and 2. For the "pure" indicator, as described in Dr. Chande's book, set the speed set to 1.
All the best,
