Thanks for your note giving all the elements of a terrific system for trading, David. Needless to say, it's great to see your notes again in these battle-scarred threads. If there were room to add one more indicator to your chart, I'd add CCI(13), with horizontal lines at 0, -150 and 200. Brooke

Dave, Thanks very much for sharing. I used your explanation to create an "Evans" Expert. Under the "Symbols" tab, I created a symbol "Evans Buy Signal" defined as below: DT:=Fml("Dahl Trend"); DNS:=Fml("DNS"); Ins:= Fml("InSync Index"); Dir:=(DT>Ref(DT,-1) AND DNS>Ref(DNS,-1) AND Ins>Ref(Ins,-1)); SRSI14:=Alert(Cross(Fml("SRSI(14)"),30),3) AND Alert(Cross( Fml("MACD(8,17,9)"),0),3); S8:=Fml( "StochRSI(8,5)" ); SRSI8:=S8>20 AND S8>Ref(S8,-1); Dir AND SRSI14 AND SRSI8 ------ Graphic: Blue Up Arrow I then attached the Expert to the Layout Created, so the expert would automatically point out the signals whenever a chart was displayed. I used the Alert() function to give some "slack" around the Crossover. On some charts, I saw amazing timing, especially after a relatively long downtrend with a sudden upturn. Regards, Paul

Hi Dave, Thanks for your detailed reply to my question. And thanks to Michael too for his suggestions. I am taking a short vacation from the market in honor of our early spring warm weather here, so have not had time to adequately explore your setup. Just a few comments for now: DNS and INsync look especially promising, but seem to almost be redundant indicators? Why use both? Also, I've seen many mentions of Dahl on the various TA threads, but it seems to be to be a bit slow to catch changes in trend. Comments? CL
