Mark: Hi, and thanks for the challenge. At the moment, I'm moving between my old machine and my new one. New one runs NT, is a P!!! 500 with 256 Meg of ram and a 13.1 Gig IBM Deskstar (ATA/66, 7200 rpm)hard drive. This will really fly for doing sorts and scans, however I am still constrained by a slow dial up connection. Have been working on eSignal all week, watching, trying to learn, developing some layouts I am comfortable with, etc. I will be reinstalling WOW Pro 5 this weekend, and probably having to recreate my database as my old machine doesn't have a zip drive - the database is huge. May buy an external ZIP to move it if it becomes too much of a challenge to recreate. I know that I've got data for some stocks that transcends moves between NASDAQ to NYSE and others that I've repaired manually. Then again this may be what finally gets me to work only with QP and give up on Dial Data entirely. Just looking at the info you sent, it would appear that solving this won't be too hard if you are looking for lines plotted on the chart (like Bollinger bands). Can't see any reason or way to do it as an alert, tho perhaps in ITrader you could set intra day alerts. The trick may be in displacing the line forward one day. I seem to recall an article in TASC a few months back on pivot points and support and resistance. Is this the genesis for the formula? I'll look for the article, it may give some clues to constructing the indicator. If all goes well, I hope to be back to actively trading using eSignal in another week or so. And contributing to the thread. My problem is sensory overload. I can not watch Level II screens and several charts for 10+ securities. What do you do to narrow your focus, I need some real help here. Previously I used Medved's Quote Tracker with a PC Quotes feed and could have 100's of symbols open for basic Level I quotes and a nifty chart of how each had traded intra day with bid, ask and trade shown. Spoiled me as I could watch the first hour, then go where the action was. But nowhere near as precise at calling turns as eSignal. Anyway, off to bed now. Daughter has piano recital Sat and it is supposed to rain for next several days, so no yard work. I will get the indicator built this weekend. Peace and Justice --- Patrick
