Re last paragraph of your posting:
What is the Hurst explicative?
How does one tell when indicators are fading in and out of effectiveness?

I am no a statistician, and I feel that your statistical references are
suitable for those with PhDs in statistics.  No offense meant,but can you
suggest something a bit less intimidating
