Hi Preston

We are: a friend and I are trying to built a trading system in MS. 
Sorry, that we informed you not completely in the previous mails.

The trading system has to give the following signals:
LONG: C > EMA(30) and direction coefficient EMA(12,26)> 0 {direction 
coefficient is a mathematical value:  the line along the curve of the 
indicator turns to positive (curve in a bottom), the valus of the 
indicator become less negative}
CLOSE LONG: d.c. of EMA(12,26)< 0 {direction coefficient is a 
mathematical value:  the line along the curve of the indicator turns 
to negative(curve in a top), the valus of the indicator become less 
positive}
SHORT: C < EMA(30) and direction coefficient EMA(12,26)< 0 {direction 
coefficient is a mathematical value:  the line along the curve of the 
indicator turns to negative(curve in a top), the valus of the 
indicator become less positive}
CLOSE SHORT: d.c. of EMA(12,26)> 0 {direction coefficient is a 
mathematical value:  the line along the curve of the indicator turns 
to positive(curve in a bottom), the valus of the indicator become 
less negative}

Please help us to program this in MS.
Thanks for your help.

Regards Jan
