TS8 EasyLanguage doji definition?

[tobbe]

Any kind soul out there have the time to look up doji in the TS8 help?

I'm studying a system written in EasyLanguage, but I'm not a TS user myself. The code calls the doji function like this:

if doji(10) then { ... }

I know what doji is, but since there are several ways to calculate it I would like to know the exact TS definition of this (how it's calculated by TS and what the parameter "10" is for). This information is supposedly included in the TS8 help, from within the program. Anyone have time to take a look?

thanks,
tobbe
