Re: Short Term Momentum Indicator

J,
If you use one of the momentum indicators (RSI, StochRSI, CMO, ...) that you're
comfortable with, stay with it. Adding more of 'em doesn't add new information.
I used to follow a multiplicity of near identical indicators myself, but I
found out that I tend to zero in on the one that confirms what I wanted to do
anyway (especially dangerous for judging when to get out!)
I should think it best to take an indicator that measures someting different
like Volume (if you have those data). Also, how about using your oscillator for
getting a setup condition and a chart formation as your trigger (Micro-W,
Shark-Fins, Gaps, Outside Days or whatever).
Hope this helps. Happy Trading,
Jan Willem Roberts
