The initial analysis section published in the July\/ August issue seems to be\nfunctioning with the corrections. However, the later section for forecasting from the December issue\nappears to have a glitch. Terms L%, NU, and DL are used in line 1160 without having been defined and\nthe net result is a division by zero error.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYours truly,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdward S.

I have\nnot been able to respond earlier due to vacation schedules and pressing business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLine 1160 of the Forecasting code is a special code adaptation for use within the CompuTrac system and\nis indeed not generic code. We have since determined that most CompuTrac users would prefer using our\ndiskette code versions, and will in the future publish more generic Basic code (the code for the trend\nfollowing method in the June 1985 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks \u0026amp; Commodities will be\npublished in generic form for example).\nThe problem in line 1160 can be solved by replacing the first part of line 1160 which currently appears\nas:","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52133989220721,"sku":"\\V03\\C06\\LETTER.PDF","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_9fdeef07-b0af-4134-a650-12f426b8e08c.jpg?v=1739660759","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/v3619lettote","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
