Thanks mate!that is a crystal 


IMO this indicator similar to Guppy MMA construction and similar to Guppy method in defining the trend. Now I understand, why at that time (at equis international forum) you mentioned that this indicator pairs up with guppy method and DMX.


Turning to DMX, I find that DMX has slightly slower reacted to the trend and seems that there has been a few signals for a big trades have been missing. and other tool such as CFB has given a few minor fallacy. still I have not figured out the second trend confirmation for my early system signals
