CatLady, You are correct, TC2000 gives us a histogram of the MACD indicator. The conventional (2-line) MACD indicator for many is much easier to see , plotted as a line and pin points entry and exit points easier for some. I like the Histogram better with the trigger line because you can not only see your entry and exit points (I feel just as clear as the line method) but you also have a 'trigger' to use. Try this one: instead of using the conventional 13-34-9 MACD use a shorter one 5-35-9. Take a look at IOM. Now overlay in the same window (a winning Stochastic) of 13-8-7. No other indicators in window. You will note (for IOM) that since May the May 10th sell signal for MACD in IOM - that no but signal was give until Oct 20th. Using Stochastics 13-8-7 noted above, you could have made 2 short term profitable trades, but the third buy came a week earlier than the MACD 5-35-9. But... using the trigger line (9) it gave a divergance (change coming) from the noted sell signal to a possible buy. I trade using the above stochastics, along with volume and stay in the trade when the ""trigger"" line concurs with a change in histogram to a stocks ""possible"" crossing -0- line. Not sure if this makes sense- but it keeps you in winning trades. At tops - use ""trigger line"" to start placing 'stops' to keep profits. I use and trade with histograms - adding the important trigger line as my guide in keeping profits at tops. Rob

CatLady--As you may recall in my last epistle to you, I was not able to handle the upgrade to 4.10064 and ended up reinstalling TC2000 4.1 without it. I plan to do the upgrade after I get the new CD. However I have encountered another problem. When clicking on the icon now I get a message box saying: "Files were missing that are required for TC2000. TC2000 will attempt to restore your system." When I click on OK, another box appears with an error message: "Run-time error 75' Path/file access error." Also, when I try to catch up on my data from 8/28/98 that I was left with after the failure of the upgrade, I get the 5000+K data downloaded and then am told that I have run out of time in the transfer. In short, I have a totally dysfunctional TC2000 system right now and its Sunday and tech/support is closed.............whine, whine, whine...... Can anybody help? Myron
