I have to say I am as impressed with this as I am with the Athens Olympics.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into this.
The second group of formulae are a lot faster than the first.
Seems to work well on some charts, less well on others.
It seems that the selection of the initial trough is the critical thing here.
I need to find a way to alter the last trough selection point. There is a lot of code here for this newbie to get his head around, but I will play with this and see if I can get the hang of it.
Thank you again

The most recent line is the most important.

PS:Another interesting idea would be to plot parabolics from Peak to
Trough and from Trough to Peak.
Any thoughts ?
