    don't know who is DeMark, or what Camouflage does... but here's the code...

    Code:
    {TD Camouflage}
    
    Vars: expltr(0);
    
    Inputs: LL(5), HH(5), RiskPerc(3);
    Vars : Stp(0);
    
    Condition1 = Close < Close[1] and Low = Lowest(Low,LL) and Close >= Open and Close > Low + (Range*.5);
    Condition2 = Close > Close[1] and High = Highest(High,HH) and Close <= Open and Close < Low + (Range*.5);
    
    {--** Buy Signal **--}
    If Condition1 then begin
    Buy this bar on close;
    Stp = Low;
    End;
    
    {--** Sell Signal **--}
    If Condition2 then begin
    Sell this bar on close;
    Stp = High;
    End;
    
    {--** StopLoss **--}
    ExitLong at Stp * (1 - .01*RiskPerc) stop;
    ExitShort at Stp * (1 + .01*RiskPerc) stop;
