drakov,

One of my pet peeves with metastock is that you can draw a trendline 
on a chart and view that value on the chart but you can't access the 
value in a system test or expert! Seems like it would be so simple.

Moving averages introduce lag. Even with a zero-lag moving average 
you will still have some lag. On the Shark Fin pic that I posted for 
Henk recently you may have noticed the Guppy Dif indicator that I 
used. It was simply the difference of the short ma's from the long 
ma's. That seemed to show the trend well and was one of the reaons 
that I used it. You may wish to consider something along those lines. 
Maybe someone else will have an idea. If I run across anything I'll 
let you know, so stay tuned.
