Richard--thanks for URL. Been away from the board for a few days entertaining my soon-to-be 5-yr old daughter. The ticker stops when she's around.

I didn't realize that TSMA's were the same as the TSF indicator in MSWIN. I was also surprised to learn that variable MA's are calculated using VHF which is a trend indicator isn't it?

Anyway, I set up a chart to compare 5-13-40 EMA's to 5-13-40 VMA's. The EMA's seem more sensitive to price movement while the VMA gives a better indication of the direction of the price movement. Is that the idea...to use VMA's to get a get confirmation on trends?

You've mentioned that you like to use these MA's. What lengths are you using these days? How do they figure into your system? As confirming indicators? As crossovers For entries and exits? Combined with other indicators?

Again, thanks for the URL.

Mike
