Jenna, here is something very simple, it works for me: %DistanceFromMovingAverage {measures the distance between the closing price and a selected SMA} MovLen:=Input("Length of Moving Avg: ",1,1000,13); (C/Mov(C,MovLen,S)-1)*100 I use it mainly with 5,13 and 40day EMAs or 50/200 SMAs. The selected average and the trigger depend on the stocks or indices you watch. Idea behind it is pretty simple: even in a strong trend the price won't run too far away from (won't come too close to) the average price Try to smooth it with a MA and watch the crossovers. Just a thought, maybe it works Jurgen

Does Metastock have the Williams Ultimate Oscillator? It's a divergence type signal - a higher hi not supported by a higher value of the oscillator is supposed to indicate a trend reversal, and vice versa. Works some of the time. (Not a ringing endorsement, I know, but it's worth adding to your indicators as added input into any decision)

Jenna, WDC reports Monday (per 1st call). Stock has been strong recently relative to SEG and QNTM, and was up more than a point on Friday while QNTM and SEG were flat to down. Money flow has been strong all last week. Both call and put option volume was high on Friday. Might be a "what's going on here" sort of situation, worth watching.
