Subject: Re: Reverse Engineering Request (VIDYA) . From: "The Omega Man (TM)" . Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 05:41:22 -0400 . Cc: "Omega List" . Reply-To: "The Omega Man (TM)" . Resent-Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 02:41:41 -0700 . Resent-From: omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx . Resent-Message-ID: <"xdiZl1.0.3o6.KbD0s"@mx1> . Resent-Sender: omega-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx Here's a variation I developed based on Dr. Chande's theme: Create a user function called VIDYA2, as follows: Type : Function, Name : VIDYA2 Input: Price(numericseries), CMOLen(numeric), VIDYALen(numeric), Speed(Numeric); Var: NumUp(0), NumDn(0), Cnt(0), SumUp(0), SumDn(0), Diff(0), VIDYAPri(0), AbsCMO(0), Const(0); SumUp = 0; SumDn = 0; NumUp=0; NumDn=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; If Diff > 0 then NumUp=NumUp+1 else NumDn=NumDn+1; End; AbsCMO = Speed*AbsValue(((NumUp-NumDn)*(SumUp-SumDn))/((SumUp+SumDn)*(NumUp+NumDn))); Const = 2/(VIDYALen+1); VIDYA2 = iff(Barnumber > VIDYALen,(Price * Const * AbsCMO) + ((1 - AbsCMO * Const) * VIDYA2[1]),Price); Now create the indicator, using the following code: Type : Function, Name : VIDYA2 Input: Price(TypicalPrice), CMOLen(9), VIDYALen(12), UBandPct(1), LBandPct(1), Speed(2); Var: PlotVal(0); PlotVal = VIDYA2(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; Try varying the speed input in VIDYA2 from 1 to 4. Set it to suit your trading style. I prefer my VIDYA2 to the original VIDYA. It suits my style better. But I'll let you be the judge... One final note: These indicators could be coded as indicators only - without the use of user functions. I've provided the user functions in case you wish to incorporate VIDYA or VIDYA2 into a trading system. All the best, The Omega Man (TM) Omega - Love it or Leave it. Code:
