Re[3]: Trend Up ?? down?? simple Question, but the vaguest answers I ever heard ...

[DT <dimatl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry Hans,

I'm wrong. I missed your previous message:

"use a 5day (or 10?) simple MA of closing prices

- if the END is HIGHER than the START its UPTREND
- vice versa"


>>> C > C[x] then {trend is up};

he>> A simple MA should give better results :-)

D> Just do some math:

D> C - C[x] =
D> C + C[1] - C[1] + ... + C[x-1] - C[x-1] - C[x] ~
D> MA(C, x-1) - MA(C, x-1)[1] > 0
