Hi Roy,

Thanks for your document.  I've a question that may be of general 
interest.

Your excellent weekly indicators allow the user to specify the last 
trading day of the week (normally Friday).

Elder says that when using weekly indicators to determine the longer 
term trend, you can't wait till Friday to see what the weekly trend 
is.  He says the weekly trend should be recalculated daily.

Here's a scenario:

Assume that today is Tuesday.  I want to know whether to trade my 
system tomorrow.  When I use your weekly indicators, do I specify 
that the last trading day is Tuesday, in order to get the trend at 
EOD today? 

Regards,
Alan
