TC2000 users... see link below, Joan,

To answer your question, I essentially use 3 MAs:

200 SMA - (simple ma) - all I am trying to do is to get a long (almost a year) term sense of where the stock is going and how reliable that trend is...

144 TSMA - (time series ma) - has a certain forecasting ability... I find once a stock crosses this average for more than a week, it tends to stay on that side for a month or more... the sell-offs in March/April and Aug-Oct were preceeded by a DOW move from above this average to below it for a week or more.

17 WMA - weighted MA which gives greater weight to recent data... and, similar to the 144 TSMA, stocks will switch from side to side... and that tells you something about the short term change potential for the stocks.

That help? What do you use?

Bill
