Hi Dave. You're welcome. I'm finding it useful watching the Indexes. Someday, I'll have to re-do the thread header with a better synopsis of what I'm currently using for signals, and how I'm using the indicators. Briefly; I adopted the 20 period MA (from Tom I think) and the DMI lines (from Peter and Bob, I think), after reviewing bunches of charts. It just looked to me like those two indicators, used together, gave a fairly reliable signal. I use these indictors as a first signal. Then, for example, if I get a buy signal, I move on to look at the MACD and Stochastic, much as I always did, though now I use the ADX to identify whether to focus on the MACD or Stochastic. Briefly; DMI are Directional Movement Indicators. There use is described in John Murphy's book and also at the StockCharts site. Here's a link to an explanation of the +DI, which is the Positive Direction Movement line. stockcharts.com Cush
