I thought I described my modified parabolic indicator adequately
enough that others could write something similar.  I have a
nondisclosure agreement with the trader I wrote it for, otherwise
I'd simply post the code.

My point was, if the design concepts of a low lag MA can be used to
enhance the profits of a trading strategy, then perhaps the low lag
MA itself could be used.  I have found only one use for low lag MA
prices myself, and that's for drawing probability bands around a
market using the MA as the mean price that takes into account past
motion.
