<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Thanks Robert,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What a great bunch on this list! 
My sudden interest in the SMI indicator came about when</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was looking for a longer term "over-bought / over-sold" 
to compliment the two shorter term</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>momentum indicators. Of course the SMI can remain on the 
outer boundaries during extended</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>trends, but it seems to help determine where the trend is. 
On the S&amp;P chart below my shortest</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>indicator (yellow) gave a sell signal last Thursday, and 
the Stoch-RSI gave a sell Monday, and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>the longer term SMI is in over-bought territory. Also the 
two shorter term Forks are at resistance</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>(middle tine) and the price is at longer term upper fork 
(dashed light blue). Look like today's drop</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>in the S&amp;P is confirming all the signals, of course 
this may just be a minor correction and I look</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>to go long when the short-term signals point back up (if 
the price remains in the&nbsp;purple fork).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Perhaps others on this list can add to this 
analysis?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>&gt; Hi Adam:<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Try this 
code- pretty well straight from Blau's book<BR>&gt; "momentum, direction &amp; 
divergence"<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Stochastic Momentum Index<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; qq:= 
Input("lookback q" ,1, 100, 20);<BR>&gt; rr:= Input("first smoothing r" ,1 ,100 
,60 );<BR>&gt; ss:= Input("second smoothing s" ,1 ,100 ,1 );<BR>&gt; uu:= 
Input("third smoothing u", 1,100,1);<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; 
value1:=(CLOSE-(.5*(HHV(HIGH ,qq )+ LLV(LOW ,qq ))));<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; 
value2:=(HHV(HIGH ,qq )- LLV(LOW ,qq ));<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Numerator:= 
Mov(Mov(Mov(value1,rr,E),ss,E),uu,E);<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Denominator:=.5* 
Mov(Mov(Mov(value2,rr,E),ss,E),uu,E);<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; If(Denominator 
&lt;&gt;0,(100*(Numerator/Denominator)),0 );<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Add a 5 
period exponential mvav for trigger, and<BR>&gt; check it out on a couple of 
strongly trending internet stocks, such as<BR>&gt; AMTD and AMZN. Seems pretty 
timely.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Also try 20,20,5,1 variables, with +50/-50 for<BR>&gt; 
OB/OS. Also seems to work well.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Let me know what you think, if 
you decide to experiment<BR>&gt; with it.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Thanks for all the 
Gann Swing and MTF code.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; Bob Lambert<BR>&gt; <A
