Keith,

The flip side of commonly used (but maybe poorly understood) indicators is that there's a built-in crowd using them so they're often self-fulfilling prophecies.

Lets see, what are most common:
12-26-9 MACD
20 day Bollinger Bands with a 20 day SMA in the middle
14 day RSI
200 day moving average

Flags and triangles show contracting bars. Its possible to program part of that. My Coiled Spring picked up the DoubleClick pennant perfectly. But it picks up a lot of noise as well.

On a separate note, my site has had several reports of lines being cut off on some Netscape browsers. If anyone is experiencing that problem, please send me a private note with the browser version and pages affected or write me at trader@hardrightedge.com.
