Hi Patrick

Thanks for your advice.
The momentum indicator in the attachment was a pretty generalised one 
and I am currently constructing one based on the ADX/DMI.
While I already have one I've decided to fine tune it before I post 
it. Am I'm sure you are aware it's the interpretation that's most 
important and I want to include that as well. 
And when it comes to momentum there's plenty of interpretation to be 
done.
I'll email you it direct as well.
