"Steve-  If you want the buy rule to be: buy when the StdErrOsc crosses

Mark,

Thanks for the code tip....but, it is what it is.  I want to buy when the
indicator crosses below 10 and sell when the StdErrOsc crosses above 90 (as
illustrated by the chart...I even made pretty little dotted lines for people
that have trouble interpreting my written word).

Many people have been "duped" by trend following nonsense and rules.  Don't
believe anything that you read in technical books.  As one of the most
famous system developers has stated:  "These technical book writers have
been sipping each other's bath water".  All I can say is: AMEN brother.

Because of this anticipatory approach, the "en-gen-neers" tell me that my
momentum, mean reversion, market approach tends to have positive slippage.
Positive slippage is kind of counter-intuitive.  It's a real problem for
"trend following" and "break out" systems.

Thanks for the input and take care,

Steve
