Steve, Here is thumbnail sketch of the strategy. I'll skip the
reasoning behind the Fund choices, which were chosen by back testing,
and the statistics. Average return is cited to be 34.8% Annual
Compound Return for 9/1/88 to 3/26/97.
1. Divide FSVLX by FLTMX using a Composite in Downloader to get a
Comparative Relative Strength. You can't do this by pulling down from
the Indicator List unless you want to go through a complicated process
with PArray formulas.
2. Apply a Custom Formula for a Histogram of a Macd not a Macd
Histogram (forget the Trigger Line in the calculations.) You're only
interested in when Macd crosses 0. This produces FastTrack's
AccuTrack.
3. Buy FSVLX when AppelTrack is positive, go to MM when it is
negative.
Hope this helps.
