ranging or short term corrections might best be followed by CCI(13) with 200 and -150 triggers.

Hello Dale, My feeling has always been why bother???? The only stocks I want to own are stocks that are going UP! No one knows when a stock is going up so why not cut down the odds and stay with the ones that are doing it now??? There are all sorts of trends out there. If you look at a yearly chart you will see one trend. Then you look at a monthly chart and you see another trend. The trick is to TRY to get all the trends on your side.... Then you stand a better chance of making money... MACD's are GREAT indicators. I like to have the shorter term ones lead me into the longer term ones. The (8-17-9) will lead into the (13-26-9) and that will lead into the (13-34-89). Once you are there you are into a nice run and have a lot of options on when to get out. You can use the (8-17-9) OR just stay put until the (13-34-89) says get out.... Parabolic SAR works well with the MACD(8-17-9) as does StochRSI (14). Remember, you can also use Moving Average cross-overs. I like the 5-13-40 but you need to look for yourself and decide the time frames. Dave Evans
