<DIV><FONT size=2>It was <in its original form> already posted
back in 1997, and roughly about 10+ times later on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The last time sent to the List was on </FONT><FONT

<DIV><FONT size=2>O</FONT><FONT size=2>f which </FONT><FONT size=2>the lastest
</FONT><FONT size=2>MACD histogram posts (or in me being a

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>MACD Histogram</DIV></STRONG></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Only 2 (!!) out of the whole bunch of List posts
recently sent, held also </FONT><FONT size=2>the </FONT><FONT
size=2>correct one :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"a plain MSK build-in MACD indicator for its
plot turned <via Properties|Style> into a Histogram's bar styled
plot".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Whatever else that was sent here also, can be anything,
possibly trading indicators, but none of them were</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the </FONT><FONT size=2>MACD Histogram.</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This naturaly creates confusion and seems to be a
silly standard List sport.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But that is surely not very funny for its
writers/publishers/copyright-holders, nor for others:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>it's also </FONT><FONT size=2>a pain for the

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>On usage of the %B oscillator in various markets, one will

<DIV><FONT size=2>it is nothing more/less than a trendfollowing
