In essence this would change a moving average by a multiplier of 0.6 after an entry.

So if one used an entry of open above MA(20), then the moving average would
change to a MA(12) to more closely follow price.

Exit would take place when close crossed below the MA(12) to keep from giving
back too much profit.

At that point, the moving average changes back to the MA(20) to insure a reversal
before the next entry of open above the MA(20).

I'm familiar with it's computations. Unfortunately, it's impossible with the current functions available. I hope I'm wrong. I do encourage other's to give it a stab nonetheless

OK what am I doing wrong here you wizards.

set{x8, close - ma(21) 1 day ago}
set{x7, .60 * 10}
set{x6, close / ma(21) 1 day ago}
set{x5, x7 * x6}
set{x4, pow(x5,0.25)}

set{x3, x4 / x8}
set{mdii, x8 + x3}


symlist(spy)
draw mdii on plot price

Does this look right? I do not think so.

Here it is using the 10 day MA.

I like the second one above. Just one question.

What does "pow" stand for?

set{x4, pow(x5,0.50)}

snappy frog here is answer,

And, if you want the root of a function simply raise your measure to the decimal equivalent of its fraction. For example ...

the 1st root of the CLOSE = close^(1/1)
the 2nd (square) root of the CLOSE = close^(1/2)
the 3rd (cube) root of the CLOSE = close^(1/3)
the 4th root of the CLOSE = close^(1/4)
Submit Fetcher[
and add column pow(close,1.00)
and add column pow(close,0.50)
and add column pow(close,0.33)
and add column pow(close,0.25)


I do not think any of what I have done is correct.
