Richard -

<< For the true beginner, it probally is best to have left the market in Sept-OCT and been in money market funds. This game can take your money. <<

You're right... As well as charting individual stocks, I chart several market indices, including the NAZ composite. In the week ending 10/24/97, both my weekly DMI and MACD indicators gave a 'sell' on 'NAZ'. They are close to giving a buy, but not quite yet. Meanwhile, the NAZ is down from 1667 to 1555. If you are a dart-thrower, you would have almost certainly lost money. If you are a TA'er, you still might have.

Theoretically, you can swim up a waterfall, but in reality it's quite hard!!!

So, you better be sure of your system rules before you buck the overall market trend!
