Brain,

In a word, no. I suspect NOBODY is willing to give away information which works... but, again, Fosback's book will tell you what doesn't.

Here is a catalog which is only about a year old and I consider out of date:
- 26 Trend indicators from Aroon to Zig Zag
- 10 Volatility indicators from Average True Range to Volatility Option
- 22 Momentum (THEY'RE POPULAR) indicatrors from Accumulation Swing Index to Williams' A/D
- 5 Cycle indicators from Cycle Lines to MESA Sine Wave Indicator
-18 Market Strength Indicators from Accumulation/Distribution to Volume Rate-of-change
- 10 Support and resistance indicators from Andrews' Pitchfork to Trendlines

If I were in your shoes, I would pick maybe RSI and Stochastics and go with tests over 3 years using daily, weekly and monthly charts. I think your grading may have to be subjective unless you have a capability of systems testing for buy/sell decisions or correlation studies to show how closely the indicator fits a future time period.

Murphy's previous book on Technical Analysis is definitive and may help you also.

You could e-mail Equis and get a demo package to test with, I would imagine.

Good luck.

Bill

PS I have at least 5 times the numbers listed above for my own proprietary indicators... some of which are terrible and some which work with certain stocks and indices some of the time.
