 to put it simple -
 
 use a 5day (or 10?) simple MA of closing prices

Hans,

Reminds me of when I was a broker and I used to let my 8 year old daughter 
and 6 year old son come into the office and day trade the futures markets for 
pennies.  I gave them a set of charts and told them to go to the end of the 
chart and draw an arrowhead in line with the direction of the bars.  If the 
arrow pointed up they would buy and if the arrow pointed down they would 
sell.  They did extremely well.  After the markets closed we would go to the 
movies and spend their profits for the day.   It was great fun.
