Gary, I will take a stab. It won't do it. Call worden and suggest it or get a better charting package. I only consider the charting in TC2000 a novelty. MetaStock, WOW, Advanced Get, TradeStation, Technifilter Plus, Omnitrader, AIQ, etc all offer more robust charting features than basic TC2000. I have called and requested numerous features so far. They have a database and seem to keep track and want to impliment features that many users request. NOTE: you can convert your DB to V3 and use the DOS software to view the data from V4. Sean

hmmm. well not sure what hitting the keyboard means, except in the context of that badday video clip! but I assume all the tabs now can be set to any interval per bar? I cobbled around with MACD, setting the middle to simple, and bottom to exponential, then toggling between arithmetic and log and custom for scaling. It appears that there is a recalculation process as the trace flickers indicating its being painted anew, but yeah, there's no difference in shape or crossovers, at least for the default MACD settings. But I gotta sweep out the mental cobwebs a bit to convince myself one way or the other as to whether two moving averages, whether arithmetic or log, would have different convergence points if each average is calculated on the same scaling basis. Intuition says no. The experience I haven't got since MACD hasn't been a TA focus for me. Would welcome your feedback. Bob
