Thanks, Bob. Very interesting. I use two sets of charts (a) with PPO and ADX (b) with OBV and ADX PPO is virtually identical to MACD. May even be identical. stockcharts.com[l,a]waclyyay[de][pb50!b200!f][vc60][iLl14!Le12,26,9]&pref=G The reason I like OBV is that it brings the volume dimension into consideration. I agree that the oscillators (MACD, PPO, Stochs) will usually turn before the ADX gives an "unambiguous" signal. I don't like stochs on short term charts because they are too "noisy" My approach is not to do much trading, in fact, as little as possible and I try to run with the major movements which may, indeed, last many years. That's why I like the last chart which you posted which, in fact, is very similar to some of the heavyweights. stockcharts.com[m,a]waclyyay[df][pb50!b200!f][vc60][iLl14!La12,26,9]&pref=G Nonetheless, I do look at all kinds of analysis, short medium and longterm, if only as an intellectual exercise.
