I ask your forbearance... I'm not a developer. I can read bash and python OK, but .NET is new to me...

I would like to create a sentiment indicator that:

Divides the Advancing Issues/Declining Issues for a particular Exchange
Smoothes that value with an SMA or EMA
Finds the lowest value for the moving average.

How do I calculate that indicator?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't used Wealth-Lab since like 2004. The noobie developer in me misses the scripting language, but I'm excited to learn the new product.

Welcome back. But don't miss the scripting language, it's still here yet way more powerful. Although your task can be accomplished in WealthScript, I'd resort to use Index-Lab with an extension as it's more straightforward:

1. This is Zweig's Advance/Decline indicator, also known as the "A/D Ratio". You can find it among many IndexDefinitions in the MS123 IndexDefinitions library. Restart WLP after installing and check out the User Guide on how to use Index-Lab, the syntax etc.

2. Once your I-L DataSet from step #1 is created, you can access it in the script, then smooth it and find the lowest low like this:

I don't know Python but love Bash scripting for Linux too :) In certain scenarios, a Bash one-liner can replace many dozen lines of C# equivalent code.
