Hello guys,

I have been looking at the "Pain in the Neck with Xdev" strategy and it has 1 of 2 possible problems:

Either:

1. It computes values that are not needed and they should be commented out

or:

2. There is a algorithm design flaw.

In the strategy it computes "DataSeries nPriceMid = AveragePrice.Series( Bars );" then uses that result to compute "DataSeries nMidDev = EMA.Series( nPriceMid, nPeriod, m ) / nPriceMid;". The second data series nMidDev is not used in the file. I need an expert which knows what this strategy is really supposed to do to decide if this is problem #1 or #2.

Bryce,

The Strategy was translated correctly, here's the source chartscript. A remnant DataSeries is not a "problem" or "design flaw".

FYI, each strategy has its own discussion forum. For example, here's the only proper place to discuss this particular uploaded strategy: Pain in the Neck with Xdev -- 0 Topics
