joe, I like the askresearch chart site. Also the following is a good site : iqc.com Beside these sites, I also subscribe to the tc2000 services. I think ema means 'exponential moving average' - it's moving average plotted on an exponential scaled paper. Exponential scale is more accurate than arithmatic scale since it takes care of the different % increase at different price levels. Let say when coms increases from $20 to $30 it's a 50% increase. But when it increases from $30 to $40 it's only a 33% increase eventhough the dollar amt increases are the same. On an arithmatical scale the rates of increase look the same in both cases but an exponental scale would take care of this problem by showing different rates of increases. The askresearch site shows exponential scale while the iqc site shows arithmetical scale. But in this age of computer generated charts, a high level understanding of these stuffs is good enough. Unlike in the olden days, I actually went out of my way trying to find some of those 'exponential' plotting paper ! :-) Not to mention I gave up doing that type of things manually pretty fast. Mang
