It is another way to construct and. compare two MAs. Then we go with
the flow, or try to really understand something.
 I understand that we could derive meaning from simple indicators, maybe
partially based on how we connect them in our forebrains, but we need a
unique view of the markets to bring us an edge.
 Public opinion (whether regarding estate planning or the value of
indicators) is based solely on ignorance. But mere ignorance is not
enough of a guide.
 Well....enoughg from me tonight hahahahahah
