So, long RT TAC becomes Current Close - Previous Low and short becomes previous high - current close. Then compare this to the regular TAC. I do it again as a percentage. So, if you see a spike in the TAC histogram and the RT is a smaller percentage of the TAC. This tells you the you have the spike and at some point it is going to reverse, then if RT is 80% or less of TAC, then it's a good time to enter. This is equivalent to seeing a reversal indicator and then waiting for a pin bar. When you break this stuff down, it really is just 'quantitative candlesticking'.
This makes things more compex by adding more indicators, but makes it easier to define rules in the long run. This is a pretty complex system and we only have the basics. Once again, I can see why Bender gave up on trying to code this in MT4.
I hope this all makes sense.

Yes, or I used to. I'm moving away from Excel more and more. I have an EA that exports data to .csv files, and then a VBA routine in Excel to convert and parse the data. I didn't write any of it. It was developed as a group effort with some guys I was working with a little while back. We didn't sign any NDA's but still I wouldn't feel right giving it all away, but I can probably give you some clues on how to do it yourself, if you want.
I'll find it so I can remember exactly how it all works.
