13 Period Linear Regression Slope (listed in MS indicator list)

NYSE.  DD is the symbol for Dupont Corp.

B> (3) Could you give an example of this trading technique with going long?

See AMD (NYSE) with the slope rising 1-2, and the first close above the
high of 1-4 occuring on 1-11 (my entry was on the close).  My exit was 2-1
when the new high was made and the stock traded below the high of the
previous period.

I am looking for a re-entry on this stock if the high of 1-18 (22.68) is
tested but not violated AND slope begins to rise from this level.  (Touched
22.96 at 13:45 EST and has risen to 24.02 today, but I was not at my
screen.  Perhaps EOD chart will give a signal within the next day or two. 
Perhaps not).
