Johan After taking the time to put that long winded explanation together, I finally realized why the end value on my Volatility Check plot isn't equal to the end value for your Volatility calculation (i think). Sorry for being such a knucklehead - and thanks again for the code. Final explorati

Thanks for staying with me, Johan : ) Just to make sure we are "on the same page", let me use an example. First, I'll re-insert your code here ... /// Periods = 40; end = LinearReg( C, periods ); start = LinRegIntercept( C,

I am moving my system from Wealth-lab to AmiBroker. My system is basically a long only EOD system. Every night I download quotes and run the Wealth-lab simulator against 600 stocks. It generates a list of alerts with priority (similar to PositionScore in AB). The alerts include Buy/Sell/St
