Thanks for your advice.
The momentum indicator in the attachment was a pretty generalised one
and I am currently constructing one based on the ADX/DMI.
While I already have one I've decided to fine tune it before I post
it. Am I'm sure you are aware it's the interpretation that's most
important and I want to include that as well.
And when it comes to momentum there's plenty of interpretation to be
done.
I'll email you it direct as well.
