Jeff,
    I entered and ran your Long Term and Short Term moving averages and
thought they were interesting. Have you or do you use any of the rainbow
plots as found at
http://www.equis.com/customer/support/formulas/cf00068.html ? Kaufman's AMA
works very well at filtering out noise and showing the underlying trend.
Something else I sometimes use is a least squares linear regression of the
prices to show the trend and then the slope of the line created by linear
regression to show the rate that prices are changing, although this leads to
more lag than I like. Price ROC works much better for me.
    How about some of Wilders indicators such as ADX, +DI and -DI?  Since
+DI is just a mirror of -DI, it is more helpful to plot a difference of
them. Aroon and Vidya are often useful in my screening.
