Thanks again, Barry. On considering the slope of multiple time frames, could I stay within the same time frame (e.g. 1-minute chart) and simply compare a 20-period MA and 60-period MA - essentially longer time frames?
Or should I use the timeframe functions in Amibroker to switch to higher time frames? In the example above, a 20-period MA on a 1-minute chart gives me the average over the last 20 minutes. If I instead switch to a 5-minute chart and compute a 4-period MA, I am looking at the same 20 minutes average, no? Wish I hadn't thrown out all my old college and high school text books. I have to wiki even basic math and trig stuff. Amazing how that knowledge vanishes if you don't use it for a few years! ===================== Posted through Grouply, the better way to access your Yahoo Groups like this one. http://www.grouply.com/?code=post
