George, Several points... During an exploration all variables must be set or constant. The Ease of Movement is an old indicator and as such the moving average that equis used did not have volume assigned to it. The easiest way to overcome this is by using a moving average of the indicator. The indicator is not one of the more popular nor useful indicators and that is why no one has really spent a lot of time trying to resolve the issue. If you want to continue with it, you might try a visit to http://trader-online.tk/MSZ/e-w-Arms_Ease_Of_Movement.html http://trader-online.tk/MSZ/e-w-Arms_Ease_Of_Movement.html There you will find two versions which may help you. I would probably try something like: Mov(EMV(13,S),1,VOL); and simply play with the variables until they match the indicator that you are using on the screen. Preston

We can plot an Ease of Movement indicator with 13 periods and Volume adjusted. Ease of Movement(13,Vol. Adjusted). But, while writing an exploration to find the same 13 period volume adjusted Ease of Movement indicator crossing over the zero line, Metastock does not permit the use of the Volume Adjusted method. For example, Cross(emv(13,v),0) is not permitted. Can any one tell me why this is so. Is there any way to write a code for a 13 period Volume adjusted Ease of Movement crossing the zero line? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, George
