Hi,
Thanks for your advice. It's not as simple as I thought at first and I hope
I may "pick your brains" later when I get a clearer understanding!
Actually, I've been use 3 linear regression slopes (long, med and short
term) in Metastock as an entry.
As far as the Ref(). I thought if it's the same as Metastock, for
backtesting to reference yesterdays buy trigger for a trade at todays
open (EOD trading).
Cheers Glenn
