[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Fromula to Reference a Diagonal line?

["metastockuser" <metastockuser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I'll dig through it tomorrow and try to figure out how to
apply it to what I'm doing.  Not being a programmer can be a real
drag, in general I try to avoid programming issues as best I can.

But there's no way I want to have to visualy check these chart
formations I'm tracking for break outs every night.  Far easier to
have the computer to alert me to the fact that a close has crossed a
line which I have designated as a buy signal.
