Hi Nand -

Most of the Guppy "method" can be found in his book Trend Trading. 
Essentially it has several components:
1. Drawn trend line 
2. Set of short term moving averages
3. Set of long term moving averages.
4. Count back line (CBL). (http://www.guppytraders.com/gup332.shtml)
5. Maximum chase line (MCL). (Commonly used if you're late on seeing 
the breakout. Shouldn't happen,if you're using the CBL.)

The short and long term moving averages are used to validate changes 
in the trend. (When there is a close to the right of the line is 
usually taken as the break).

Convergence of short term moving averages anticipates the convergence 
of long term moving averages. 

The subsequent convergence of long terms moving averages is a further 
confirmation. The cross of the short term above the long term is yet 
further confirmation.

The CBL has to be crossed before a trade can be taken in his trend 
following approach. If the stock has crossed the MCL line, he 
suggests waiting.

The following may be useful:

average.html

A free automatic trend line drawer is available at

It's GSautoTL.zip Read his TASC article on it as well.

I'm probably prejudiced, but I believe the best toolkit available for 
Guppy MMAs (not much on interpretation but lots of tools) is 
available to subscribers of Roy's MSST (I think you'll need to 
purchase the back issues.)
http://www.metastocktips.co.nz/

More recently MS code for the CBL and MCL has appeared there. Code 
for (non automatic, but customizable) trend lines based on 3 bar Tops 
and Bottoms has also appeared.

Hope the above has been helpful. Good luck with your use of the MMAs.

Regards,
Ron
