If anyone uses parabolic trend lines as part of a systematic approach I
would be very interested, as I can not see the logic behind them ... it
seems to me 'curve fitting' literally.

Ron, Ed, plotting a parabolic fit is not impossible using MSFL - it
just requires a little imagination and a lot of free time.
However, since abstract mathematical plots are generally considered an
absolute waste of *valuable time* and effort, and since it has little
or nothing to do with actual trading, you won't find much of that
around here.
For complex parabolical(!) plots, try dedicated maths software such as
Statistica 7. http://www.statsoft.com/v7.htm
