Hi Preston, I thought you might enjoy the stochastics thread. I've been experimenting a little with different settings at the free site. If you want to follow Wayne's posts and be somewhat close to his charts, go to cbs.marketwatch.com and set the simple moving average at 3; bollinger bands at 12; and stochastics at 5. You won't have bollinger bands on bollinger band width but it's close. You also might want to try this: In order to somewhat approximate the DWA weekly momentum, set the exponential moving average at 5, and the bollinger bands at 25 (leave the stochastic at 5). As you know, the middle line in the bollinger band is a moving average. Although it's not exponential, it does get one close to the DWA weekly momentum data, which are 1 and 5 week exponential moving averages that are smoothed, kicked and coddled. You'll notice some of the trends/weeks are right on the money and some are skewed because of the nature of DWA's proprietary system. These indicators let you see good trend lines, volatility and stochastic short term buy/sell signals. As I get up to speed, this could be just what I was looking for. Good Investing, Eric
