bdog, I have been xperimenting with an RSI based upon the number of days in the RSI calculation period. According to "Trading Systems and Methods" by Kaufman (page 135), more days will smooth out the curve. My first cut was the 5 period RSI. The Metastock code I generated is: use formula builder and call xRSI span:=Input("RSI span",1,5,2); term1:=CLOSE - Ref(CLOSE,-span); term2:=Ref(CLOSE,-span) - Ref(CLOSE,-2span); term3:=Ref(CLOSE,-2span)- Ref(CLOSE,-3span); term4:=Ref(CLOSE,-3span)- Ref(CLOSE,-4span); term5:=Ref(CLOSE,-4span)- Ref(CLOSE,-5*span); p1up:=If(term1>0,term1,0); p2up:=If(term2>0,term2,0); p3up:=If(term3>0,term3,0); p4up:=If(term4>0,term4,0); p5up:=If(term5>0,term5,0); p1dn:=If(term1<=0,-term1,0); p2dn:=If(term2<=0,-term2,0); p3dn:=If(term3<=0,-term3,0); p4dn:=If(term4<=0,-term4,0); p5dn:=If(term5<=0,-term5,0); sumup:=p1up+p2up+p3up+p4up+p5up; sumdown:=p1dn+p2dn+p3dn+p4dn+p5dn; den:=If(sumdown>0,sumdown,.0001); xrsi:=100-(100/(1+(sumup/den))); xrsi At first glance it appears to closely resemble the built in RSI for a one day span and a week. now to find out what clues it can give. wart

CEF is a Canadian fund that owns gold and silver bullion stored in a bank vault. The price usually closely follows expectations of gold price. RWS edit: damn what time is it.

Bdog, Now on to last weekend's hit list. JMAR continued through its hyperaccumulation flag and jumped pretty well so far. There may be a bit of a shakeout on the way. "May" also implies "may not" (for the inattentive who need clarification of the obvious entirely spelled out for them). I'm in CLNTF for the hyperaccumulation flag there. PETD is solidifying its up trend but appears to need a better anchor (slightly lower than the 3/31 low) on which to set the first acceleration away from the initial. Indications are for the upward bias to continue. POG kicked very nicely and doesn't show any sign of giving anything back. There's a hint of hyperaccumulation on it since Monday's move. TBD should still be strongly considered as well. Doug R
