<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>I was reading in Perry Kaufman's latest book and he 
described a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>little oscillator he called "Body Momentum". This 
simply </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>calculates the momentum of the Closes above the 
opens</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>versus the closes below the opens. The theory is 
that as prices</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>move up, closing prices will be higher than opening prices 
and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>vice-versa for down. If this oscillator is above 70 then 
the whites</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(Candle-sticks) dominate and below 30 the blacks are 
dominant.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I also added a 3 day moving average to the calculation 
(for smoothing).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Here is the code:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Lb:=Input("Look-Back Period?",3,60,14);<BR>B:=CLOSE - 
OPEN;<BR>Bup:= Sum(B &gt; 0, Lb);<BR>Bdn:= Sum(B &lt; 0, 
Lb);<BR>BM:=(Bup/(Bup+Bdn))*100;<BR>Mov(Bm,3,S)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Steve, Guy and Jim,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>&nbsp;I had also come to the same conclusion of the 
S&amp;P.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3><FONT face=Arial size=3>Looking at the S&amp;P 
tonight (Tuesday), If I was long...I would probably take some profits on the 
open:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>&nbsp; 1. The Stoch-RSI has turned down from 
yesterday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>&nbsp; 2. The StTO(Short-term Trend Oscillator) has 
tapered-off the last two days.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>&nbsp; 3. We are at a possible resistance area (I 
had been projecting a 1370 level, but......).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&gt; Guy and Jim,<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; For 
what it's worth: my S&amp;P StochasticRSI System triggered a sell on<BR>&gt; 
yesterday's opening.&nbsp; Not the holy grail, but a fairly consistent 
money<BR>&gt; maker (if you can stand the holes drilled in your account by 
the<BR>&gt; drawdowns).&nbsp; For the past year it's delivered about 75% of the 
time.&nbsp; You<BR>&gt; people scare me...I'd rather stick to more orderly 
markets like cocoa and<BR>&gt; sugar.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Steve Karnish<BR>&gt;
