Hi Don

I've seen Andreas' well written code .. this shouldn't be all that difficult
for you to block out  ...

"find all stocks that have HHV(C,100) = C ... buy these.
Then sell them when MOV(C,20,S) > MOV(C,50,S). "

Looking forward to seeing some code.

Best regards

Walter

| Don,

| I wonder why your postings always make me think of Monty Python.

| "Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; bacon
| and spam;
| egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg,
| spam, spam,
| bacon and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam; spam, spam, spam, spam,
| spam, spam,
| baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam; or lobster thermidor aux crevettes
| with a

of
