Dave Mangets are a homebrew TA. I have tried to explain how to create them in the past on this thread and it seemed to cause more confusion than anything else. Since improperly applied TA is about as dangerous as anything in the market I decided to not continue the explanations. As far as what they are: they are horizontal tlines. Relevance varies from one to the next depending on the time frame and indicator set up upon a magnets birth. Mag tlines are normally sloping (sometimes flat) and they also vary in degrees of relevance. I try to point out which ones I feel carry the most weight when I make a post regarding the mags.

Hi Dave. some stuff for ya... [EDIT i see some of the old searches don'twork anymore... I'll see if I can find them] Force index... from Elder mp1:=Input("EMA Periods",1,377,13); Mov(VOLUME*(CLOSE-Ref(CLOSE,-1)),mp1,E) Doctor Voo uses a SMI multiplex scatter that looks like so: Message 7864418 I was getting blurry eyed so I did this: techstocks.com then Craig DeHaan adds TSF: techstocks.com. the OEM plex ends up being this: SMI Multiplex Raw data... (StochMomentum(2,1,2)+StochMomentum(3,2,1)+StochMomentum(4,2,3) +StochMomentum(5,3,5)+StochMomentum(8,21,13)+StochMomentum(13,25,2)) SMI Multiplex 13EMA...use as dotted line for signal ms:=(StochMomentum(2,1,2)+StochMomentum(3,2,1)+StochMomentum(4,2,3) +StochMomentum(5,3,5)+StochMomentum(8,21,13)+StochMomentum(13,25,2)); mp1:=Input("SMI EMA",1,377,13); Mov(ms,mp1,E) I then put up 2 TSFMA of the plex with one shifted a variety of days for an entry/exit plan... I mostly now use it for an exit, I usually optimize but try 8 and 8,-5 shift and 13, 13,-8 shift for starters. Craig does extensive backtest work: Message 8359651 somewhat of a summary: techstocks.com. Craig has really brought this to life with some great backtesting work but it is still a work in progress and it has had some wicked returns in the recent past and has been a bit dead recently... bperplexedog
