I don't want to get involved in a contest where mine is bigger than yours
except to say that I'm confident I can crash Metastock EOD more easily than
I can T2SKi. As a heavy AIQ user, one of the many things in its favour is it
stability. Seems to me that if it works well for you then make money out of
it.
However, I'm intrigued to know when yo use a composite indicator, aside from
in a takeover situation and one trades the imbalance. Could be there's a
language difference between the US and UK?
