Thank you for your answers.... in the meantime I changed my point of view. Looking for a self adapting indicator i feel is too much like searching the holy grail. given fix indicator parameters the way I try to develop is to think about how to handle drawdown situations. Best, Ralf
10 and 30 week MAs reflect certain cycles reccurring in the markets. There are many more. Research and identify the main ones on year, month, week (see above) and day, for each market being analysed. Dont forget to count TRADING DAYS and not just calendar days etc. Let me know how you get on. michael.kitching@bredband.net
