Has anyone actually taken the time to examine this formula?

It is adding MACD (typical value = 0.0020) to RSI (typical value 50.0) - as you can probably see, MACD influence is insignificant and can be disregard completely! If someone actually received a Masters based on this, then all I can wonder is what is the educational system coming to...

btw the 'actual' formula also includes raising the value to a power, which results in infinities everywhere, so I really think you are flogging a head horse here...
