I can do it by clicking on first line and using ctrl-c. you referred to >20, a point where the intermediate trend might be down. The proper use of insync is make a buy on upcross of 20, if you miss it, wait until it hits 80 then goes "just" below 50 and upcrosses 50 or bounces from 50. If you buy at 20 sell if it goes back thru 20. The 80 sell is a downward cross of 80. If the 50 buy fails sell downward move thru 50. All that is difficult to say, but you will get idea when you look at chart. But this is not a measure of trend.
