HI DAVE! Glad to see you back. I was looking at your MACD triplet and was wondering why you use the 13,26,9 MACD with the "traditional" Macd8,17,9 and 13,34,89. It gives a little later signals so do you use it as confirmation of the MACD8,17,9? Stefan

To all: I am at the very beginning stages of TA (i.e. I don't use it, I'm just starting to learn about it) and I had a few questions. 1. The book I have recently started is Tech Analysis of Stocks and Trends. Is this a good book to read or is it outdated? It seems people are using different kind of indicators, but what do I know? 2. Any good recommendations on books or where to get started would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Colby

Dave, yes Dahl usually does give a lot back but it I have made money using it. I would recommend Dahl as a great indicator for a beginner in TA. It has helped me gain confidence in using TA but I do find myself getting frustrated as it drags out on the tail end. I have started using MACD (13-34-89) more and looking at various other MACD & StochRSI indicators. Thanks again for your help. You are very good at explaining TA. I think I learn something almost every time I read one of your posts. Terry
