I have several of Tomes' URLS I will post later. Thanks for that. Fourier has to use a 256 point or root of 2 number of points usually. This limits it usually from being used as an ongoing analysis too. But there is software out that does fourier without needing the root of two number of points. (It's commercial, URL later) Actually, the Fourier transform can be computed from any number of points. The more the better. The output frequency spacing will be an "inconvenient" interval. It is the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) that wants number sets in powers of two because of the computational algorithm. FFT requires far less computer power than a pure Fourier computation. Commercial FFT computation routines are probably available from MathLab and other sources. It's one thing to buy it. It's another thing to find good TA software with the FFT built in. Tell me when you find one of those. With so much decent charting software available, I'm not going the route of building my own just because I bought an FFT package. Your next posting, EC, went into the trials and tribulations of fund raising for ventures like gold mining. It's out of the range of my normal concerns so I'll just pass on further comment on it.
