Looking forward to hearing more about the Cleveland meeting coming up this summer. The reason I am using a long timeframe (6-18 mos) is because of time constraints and because I still enjoy the funnymentals. I have become a stalker. I guess you can call me a value investor at heart, but a value investor that lacks patience! I have turned to TA this year in an attempt to reduce the losses I have incurred by buying stocks when they became a good value, only to see them become a better value at my expense! Also, I have always found it a challenge to determine when to sell and TA is helping with that. I don't believe in the buy and hold forever doctrine. Good fortune to you in 1998.

I have a question about the cross function that I hope someone can answer. Would one get a positive signal only at the point in time of the exact crossover, or anytime thereafter if all other parameters are met? IOW, if one crossed at 68, but other parameters aren't ready yet, but 2dys. later, they are met, would I still get a pos. signal even though you're past the exact crossover point? I seem to get inconsistent results sometimes. Thanks, ChrisG
