Hi Svenlar:

Finally got around to taking a good look at your analysis of those charts. Thanks for taking the time. Interesting to see what other people are looking at. (I noticed SFF did pretty good today...wasn't watching during the day unfortunately. If you've noticed a stock ALP which just got taken over, that helps explain some of the excitement in the forestry industry).

Here's one just for you that came up on a scan I did today <ggg>

stockcharts.com[w,a]dicayymy[dc][pc5!c21!c50!c200!h.02,.20!f][vc60][iut!Ul14!Lc20!La12,26,9!Lh14,3!Lb14]

In answer to your question,
Will Chartsmart let you configure various moving averages (ie: for very short term moves I like to use a combination of the 4, 9, 18 day ema... and the 5 & 21 day ema for (slightly longer term moves) & of course the 10, 50, 200 day ema or simple moving average?

You can configure up to three of each of SMA and EMA on the charts...and I guess if you used the MACD setting you could add another two EMA as well. One thing to mention is that the charts are not all that great, compared to other things around. You get daily and weekly bar charts only (can flip easily from one to the other), but no intraday stuff or candlesticks. Great for flipping through a lot of stocks quickly and then if something really interests me, I will pull up some CSW java charts and study it further.

There are a lot of (fixed) scans for various SMA crossovers. Unfortunately, I have found that those bring up a lot of junky stocks that are just trading in a horizontal range. I was wondering if maybe an extra criteria using stochastics could help filter those out and narrow it down to mainly stocks showing true price reversals. Can you suggest any settings?

Tom
