>   1. I see exactly what you mean. On KO, you have to go back to Mar 
15, 01 to find this indicator working as a breakout tool. KO has been 
in a solid downtrend since then.

downtrend? The answer is that it signals rallies and, in a downtrend, 
short sell opportunities follow the rallies.

ensures we are in at least a short term uptrend.

>   4. As an indicator, this should do a better job of pointing out 
breakouts that have a better chance of continuing up because they are 
in an uptrend. False signals (sees) could be reduced by demanding a 
longer term uptrend.
