You could try a T3 instead of a MA they seem to react a little faster and cut down on the lag, but Superfrag is a really smart traders start there with his advice and build off of it. You will learn a ton.

Hi TecloGeo I see what you're saying, yes I have read Superfrag's post (four or five times) and yes it does make perfect sense. But I am one to think up and test my own theory's and part of these theory test have lead me to believe I need to mathematically define the trend just as well as my highlighter can but MS still doesn't like FmlVal ("Highlighter","Green") no mater how hard I try. I'll give your moving averages ago but as Jim state's in Roy newsletter moving averages have build in lag and I really need to pin point the start and end of the trend just like I can with the highlighter.
