Jack this is really a response to your post on the TA-1998 thread, Message 3396605 which I'm taking over here at Chan's request. >> Wouldn't the same result be obtained by comparing a slower MA with a faster....say the 8 period with 13 period for example. Well, the point of the "Spots indicator" (how embarrassing, I never really intended it seriously anyhow) was to compare two averages of the same period. A sort of baseline and trend predictor. IS there anything to be learned from this (other than tutorially, I mean)? I would have said no, but I'm no longer so sure ... Regards
