Martin,
 
What are the "death cross" and the "golden 
cross"?  
 
Thanks!

  The problem with moving crossovers is probably 
  the same as with other systems. That is simply whipsaws. Probably better to 
  look for the death cross or golden cross before taking a signal. <FONT 
  face=Arial size=2>They test well and you can find what works best for 
  individual stocks. 20/50 was one I tested with the DOW and Nasdaq but like I 
  said I would use some sort of overlay such as volume.
  I haven't yet found the LEEP but I appreciate 
  your efforts.
  Yes you are right he can change the E to 
  S.
  The options thing is interesting. Sort of like 
  trading small cap stocks. As example a call on CAT is 3.50 and up 40% 
  yesterday. CATEJ.X

    Martin,Are you using the moving average crossing of 20 
    and 50 in your real trade to determine your buy/sell signals. How successful 
    are these signals helping your trade? Adrain is looking for simple MA, I 
    suppose he is aware that he needs to substitute E for S in your 
    formula.Btw, did you manage to get 4 years LEAPS contract that will 
    allow you to buy into 2006, I check around, at most is 2 years.Best
