Dale. "BTW, since you hooked me on histograms is there any way to formulize the moving averages above into a histogram? I experimented and came up with a formula: Mov(C,8,E) - Mov(C,89,T) and the line style of histogram.. but can't find a way to do the horizontal shift.. Can this be accomplished? " Try making the above invisible under styles and plotting a 1EMA of that indicator, shift as needed, style with histo bars and cook for 20 minutes. enjoy with a red hook or such bdog

No, place both in price windows. This simply gives you a short and intermediate MA to follow. The Cross over might be good but I haven't worked it that way. yes you can plot differences with a 0 trigger line and histogram setting. Off hand you can't shift in formulas I think someone came up with a way. This is just a template, not a system. you can tailor a system to your needs. You might have a requirement of trend being up, look at Aroon or VHF. As for stocks, try any that you trade or want to.
