Roy,
Thanks! I was hoping you'd get in on this.
Mike & Chellester, Roy is the KING when it comes to working with
formulas. He has spent countless hours working with these formulas.
His work on the Trade Equity indicators is pure genius. We are
honored to have a copy of it in the group files section. I would
encourage you and everyone else to take some time and study this
work. It is an education that would take you lierally years to obtain
on your own. The greatest part is that Roy offers this work for FREE!
Roy, you are one in a million!! THANKS,
Preston
