Wabbit,

There are literally dozens of modifications that can be made to this 
indicator. What I coded reflected the thoughts of the article and the 
info I found at wealthlab. Some other options would include changing 
the SMA to another type of moving average. You could also link the 
signals to some other type of momentum indicator. Keeping in mind 
that the KISS method always works well, the moving averages give some 
good signals. The magazine article tested the indicator and found 
some fair results. The problem I think was that this indicator works 
well in trending markets which don't always come as often as we'd 
like. Good to see other working with the code!
