Hi John, Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions. I think I'll probably wait awhile before I buy anything. Who knows maybe there will be a TF+ door prize in NJ."hint hint"<gg> Also like I was telling Bill & Richard I think I can use several programs that I have already once I get the correct data provider. As far as examples of things that I would like to try I'm gonna start a new thread that will be focused on ideas and design. I see that the really successful threads have a couple of gaurds that always keep them going. "Beginners" has more than most and Andy and Richard are always there to answer questions or put out the pearls. Chris and Robert Graham have done a really good job with their thread also.IMO Still pretty young but time will tell. I don't think this thread will have the following that either of these have and I can't hope to be as dedicated as any of the men mentioned above. It will be there if anyone wants to get crazy with the ideas and math. Who knows maybe we will find others who would like to join in. Hopefully you and Bill will consent to being two of the gaurds. You definitely have the drive and the ability. Bill ... well it goes without saying that he would be a good navigator and could keep some ships pointed in the right direction. Send me an EMail and lets get some ideas on it if your interested. Anyone elses' ideas are welcome also. Format hopefully will go something like: 1:idea 2:possible approaches to measurement via mathematics 3:formalization 4:testing 5:analysis to decide on improvement, change direction, bad idea??? An actual example would be:(This is off the cuff so be nice)<gg> 1:How do we code S/R such that it can be self adjusting and testable? 2:Math that locates low point and high point reversals through history by looking at something like the sign change in the slope of "fast ma(1) - fast ma(2)". This would locate the reversals. These dates and closing values would be used to model trendlines that could be projected into the future. A long time frame between two high reversals might be very significant. Whereas a shorter time frame between two of the same type reversals probably would not be as important. We would weight them accordingly. Buy/Sell on whatever crossing criterion we decide on. 3:Do the code 4:Test it to see if our implimentation works. 5:Was it a bad idea or were we unsuccessful in the formalization of it? The other day I believe I said the math part is the most enjoyable for me. This is true but its actually the process that makes it so much fun. Also the interaction between others like yourself, Bill, Derek, etc. that gets me zooming. I love it when I'm stuck and somebody says "why not try x". I like to wander around but I like having a target even more. I want to beat DAHL by 50% or get in and out 1 day before SRSI(14) or whatever. David Are you doing a report for the NJ text?? You better, you have alot to offer!!<gg> I'll set up the thread after I'm done with mine.
