Parameter

Description

Display

Opens a sub-window with display properties:

      Color = Select a line color.

      Auto = System determine whether sharing is feasible.

      On = Scale is shared regardless of the functions and studies displayed.

      Off = Scale is not shared.

MarkIt

Opens the Specify Conditions for Marking Bar window.

Price

Price used for calculation.

Checkup

Choices include: Close, Open, High Low, Mid, HLC3, Average, TrueHigh, TrueLow,Range, TrueRange, TickVol, Vol, CurrentOpen, CurrentHigh, CurrentLow, Last, CurrentVol, CurrentTickVol, BestBid, BestBidVol, BestAsk, BestAskVol.

Period

The time period for the moving average calculations.

Extra Steps

A look back maximum period that the formula attempts to compute. If you were to create, for example, a 1001 period variable, but the steps only went back 1000 the calculation wouldn’t work.
