tx, Paul, for your comments to qcharts during my first observations (1 month ago) I could realize (believed to...ggg) that a lot of shortterm trading comes in on parallel lines with high accuracy. What I missed on qcharts (besides the mentioned points) was a feature to re-adjust lines (say f.e. I drew a weekly line and wanted to find the exact point in a 10-minute-chart) and to define a "mid-tine" between 2 parallel lines. Not to think about a "fork-construction-set" - however, if they could do that, Gersh still would have posted excited comments here I guess. Now I'm on the way to test other chart-services too, my first (after qcharts) candidate (means "sugared"?) was quicken. They have some very cool features but lack in terms of lines, they just provide very simple tools for lines. On my list I have to check yet PCQuote, E Signal and DTNIQ - comments welcome. Back to quote.com - surely I wrote some mails but they don't believe what I write (I understand that due to my "english"). Nevertheless, they agree that a 100-day-MA really should be a 100-day-MA (and nothing else) in every possible interval.* They urged me to erase some files and the derivations really got smaller. Smaller. :o) All together their support is at least existing, and I like qcharts best - if only... And then those inferior exchanges outside holy US... OK, I finally found a broker who can do his job (www.InteractiveBrokers.com) after a few years of sticking around, maybe I'll find a data service that works a few years from now - or at least before I'll have lost my last € :) Jury re. CPN: are you sure? For me it's looking like the worst could be over?!?!? * what you described is the way Quicken does it - they define a MA on the number of data points like quote.com does it too. Quite silly imo because I used to jump a million time back to the daily chart just for getting a "day"-MA.
