>             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.

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

breakout tool, 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.
