Brian,

 I have just stated looking at this issue... Used it to identify
continuation trades that have very high %win ratios and high returns. My
thought is to increase the investment size if i have no position or get an
extra "unit" of that stock.

I am using a combination of indicstors (CCI and MACD), but studying the
signals that trigger at various levels of the indicators.
