Hello,
I see where you're getting confused i.e. same problem I had i.e. I tried various different 'PIPFACTORS' or variations of the limit value to try and make thing 'look' right and you can't do that i.e. if you start trying to use values to make things 'look' right you either end up with a TISAR that will NEVER get hit in a lifetime or one that is so close you'd be stopping and reversing on every bar. Don't worry about the SIZE of the numbers that you're getting for the ASI just make sure that your calculations are constant and consistent throughout.
Here are examples of some of my values (using the ASI value from the previously completed bar):
Gold (PIPFACTOR: 0.10, Limit: 3.00):
Daily : 103611
4 Hour : 42307
1 Hour : -6633
Silver (PIPFACTOR: 0.01, Limit: 3.00):
Daily : 17757
4 Hour : 8600
1 Hour : -337
The value of 60 would be added or subtracted from these numbers for the TISAR value. (Your numbers WILL be different from mine but the ranges should be close to them). I'm not worrying myself about the SI range being over or under -100 / 100 as stated in the book because it was YOU the other day that said it's probably because we don't have limits anymore (at least not on these instruments). Let me put it another way: whether I'm right or wrong here the SI System is working well so EVEN IF I / we are wrong here which I seriously doub't then I STILL would not worry about it too much. Like I said: send me an email and I'll send you some spreadsheets and charts with the ASI and TISAR plotted and you will be able to see from there).
Again: don't try to 'fit' your ASI plot to the example drawn in the book i.e. you'll never get it right. As a matter of fact you'll actually find that the reason your ASI plot MAY look different is also due to the fact that the actual 'scaling' of your plot will be different to his manual plot on the graph paper i.e. Excel and the trading platforms 'scale' the plot so that it fits on the screen. If you enlarge the plot that you see on the screen only then do you get a plot that resembles his example.
