["Jayson" <jcasavant@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or 
maybe just look at the built in function LinRegSlope()

how do i calculate slope of a ma?j,If you want 
the slope based on the value today and yesterday, I would use 
MA(close,x)-MA(ref(close,-1),x), where x is the length of the moving 
average. This is the old "rise over run" from algebra. However, you should 
normalize this value if you want to compare it to something else. Say stock 
A has a MA that was 100 yesterday and 105 today. The slope would be 5. Stock 
B has a MA that was 10 yesterday and 10.5 today. The slope would be 0.5. But 
both changed by the same percentage. So you could divide both values by the 
MA yesterday, then both would be 0.05, the same "slope".Maybe one of 
the experts out there could clarify one thing:Is MA(ref(close,-1),x) the 
same as ref(MA(close,x),-1) ?For the buyprice question, it would be 
buyprice=MA(close,x)-0.25;Hope that helps,Jim--- In
