Dave

Thank you very much for the substitute MACD indicators.

<ggg> well, not right now but I'll try to digest it today.

I've looked at the three different MACDs on a chart familiar to me, APCO. It seems the (13-34-89) worked very well on it! As you can see the 3 ESAs also worked very well on this one!
My RSI Wilder set at 14 says nothing to me (a novice) but maybe I'm just deaf ;-)

Dave wrote: "leading into a MACD..."

I don't think I quite understand your meaning here. I can only display one MACD at a time and then have to change the settings to display another. (Please don't tell me I bought the wrong charting program... I just got it <AIQ> and it costs me $600!)

"Parabolic SAR"

Is this english??? I'm still working my way through all those past posts so please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks again Dave

Don

David,

A few questions about your MACD's. If you don't mind ;)

(I use Mswin) So you plot the 8-17-9, the 13-26-9 and then the big one 13-34-89. Interesting... I usually have the 8-17-9 MACD in histo format, but having all three up there may be extremely helpful. I also use the stochRSI triplets and enjoy seeing their progression form the little 8,5 up to the bigger 34,4. So you combine the little MACD with the medium stochRSI (14) (Just talking out loud here)

Well I'll throw up the MACD triplets and see how they look.

Actually no questions here, just making conversation ;)

Hello Dave, Richard and everyone,

I took a long break from trading since TA in NJ and now I'm back
in business. I'm still using Metastock 6.5 and I am ready for
a more advanced software. Any suggestions based on your experiences ?
I did hear about Advanced Get, Cycletrader and AIQ. Hope everyone
is doing well and having fun trading. Weather here in Florida has
been superb. Looking forward to speaking to you all.

Thanks,
Mitch Klein

Dave,

oh I almost forgot...

Just curious why the 13-26-9 MACD (the middle one you mentioned you use)? 12-26-9 is the ahh default I think in MSwin 13 isn't that much of a difference then 12, but any reason on the change?

Dave and Others,

Please comment on what day moving average is most meaningful for a significant change of market or stock price direction? It looks to me that the 100 day moving average has been a source of support and resistance in the current market.

Any thought appreciated. Also, I use Meta for US stocks. Is there a site for moving averages of Canadian stocks?
