I had to change the scale to get what I was looking for.  As far as 
the scan goes, I've tried that in the past and didn't get anything 
too reliable.  I'm guessing what happens is when you have a above 
average day, when it comes time to day drop it from the calculation 
it causes huge swings in the OBV indicator making it too unreliable.
It'll be a work in progress.  
I was downloaded some of the archives and nice work on that sector 
analysis piece in post 24839.  Same with DT and his mean RSI and 
MeanCMO ideas.  My fiancee was ready to kill me last night for 
spending hours reading through all these posts.  Thanks to all those 
who have contributed so many incredibly creative ideas -- too many 
to thank!  I'm looking forward to trying them out on my own
