Thanks for the reply - I have ordered Howards book, hopefully it
will arrive sometime this week.
I also had read some of the links you provided, like the user guide,
and some of the commentary on this site. However, I was hoping to
gain a deeped understanding of WHY we want to look for certain
values on certain indicators.
I will take your advice and try to piecemeal some reference matrial
from the web.
