Most traders look at one timeframe. Professionals look at three. New syntax allows you to pull data from higher timeframes without leaving your 1-minute chart.
Security("NASDAQ:MSFT", PERIODWEEKLY, CLOSE)
This replaces the traditional parabolic SAR. It adapts to current volatility using ATR.
VolStop(ATR(10),2) metastock formulas new
Let us be honest. A formula that buys when the 50-period moving average crosses above the 200-period is not "new." It is a historical footnote. The market has arbitraged these lagging, ubiquitous signals into irrelevance. The true "new" formula does not simply replicate popular indicators; it deconstructs them.

Consider the traditional RSI. It measures the speed of close-to-close price changes. But what if we build a Volume-Weighted RSI? Pullback entries:
// Volume Weighted RSI - A "New" Perspective
UpVol := IF(ROC(C,1,$) > 0, V, 0);
DownVol := IF(ROC(C,1,$) < 0, V, 0);
AvgUpVol := Wilders(UpVol, 14);
AvgDownVol := Wilders(DownVol, 14);
RS := AvgUpVol / AvgDownVol;
VWRSI := 100 - (100 / (1 + RS));
VWRSI
This formula does not ask, "Is price moving fast?" It asks, "Are the heavy dollars moving the price?" This is new. This is contextual.
