ahh yes nicolas thank you soo much for your wise input i was reading the same exact thing in alot of the books i was reading aswell... i didnt do the parameter adjustment like you mentioned but i actually just tried another security goog, cmg, msft to see how far off the results would be it was about 40-55%
funny story i was testing the ultimate oscilator last night and it has been tested to be a very highly accurate instrument but when i tested it on different equities and indexed results varied from 70-100% keep in mind that it only tells u to get in average about 5-6 times a year on a daily chart.. anyways point being is your right i will not only mess with parameters but test on diff equities futures and indices to see validity

but the equity curve is a critical piece of information i neglected i need to figure out how to acess that with trade station im sure they have it will google it soon

but right now this is just the compiling of a loose fitting system once i have something solid i think i will try to break it with very rigorous testing before i use it

thanks guys!

Trying to convert PolychMTN from Thinkorswim into tradestation. I used the August 8th post as the formula. Tradestation and TOS don't match. Below is the formula used for Tradestation. Does anyone have the same problem? I use this momentum indicator on stocks and want to use tradestation instead of TOS. I would like to have the readings match.

Inputs:
price ( Close),
length ( 8);

Variables:
num ( 0 ),
indexN ( 0 ),
accuN ( 0 ),
denom ( 0 ),
indexD ( 0 ),
accuD ( 0 ),
offset ( 0 );

accuN = 0;
for indexN = 1 to length+1 begin
if indexN > length then offset = length else offset = indexN;
accuN = accuN + (price - price[offset]) / SquareRoot(indexN);
end;
num = accuN;

accuD = 0;
for indexD = 1 to length+1 begin
accuD = accuD + SquareRoot(indexD);
end;
denom = accuD;

Plot1( num/Denom, "Momentum" );
plot2(.2,"sxo",Red);
Plot3(-.04,"Bxo",Cyan);
