  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. 
    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 
     
    Regards Martin

      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 RegardsFreddie NgAt 08:42 PM 4/22/2003
