Martin,
Moving average crossovers alone are not adequate and must be used in
conjunction with other indicators to achieve concurrence before you
act. Typical MA of 20, 50 and 200 are used for short term,
intermediate term and long term respectively, so it all depends on
investors interest. These MAs are lagging indicators and would not alone
help spotting death crosses or golden crosses, however, it does help you
to visualize current trend position. Bearing in mind that no one
indicator works best for all securities as each security has its own
personalities, so we need to find indicators that could optimize
performance. OBV is quite interesting as it seems to help identify
trend.
Are you trading the option CATEJ.X which you claimed that it is up 40%,
congratulation if you do. Btw, are you using any tools to identify this
potential money making option, was it through the use of
Metastock.
Best Regards

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

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.

I believe this is what you are after.
BUY Cross(Mov(C,20,E),Mov(C,50,E))
SELL Cross(Mov(C,50,E),Mov(C,20,E))
Replace numbers with your own.
Regards Martin
