Re: Fw: ROC indicators

I have loaded the 3 ROC's on a chart of 1 min S&P.  If I let TS scale the
indicators to the screen then there seems to be convergence at some of the
turning points.  If I set the scale to USER set - and make them all the same
then I do not see this convergence of the ROC's at turning points.

What scaling factor is everyone using?  Are you looking for a convergence of
these into an area of the chart or for them to all cross 'zero' at the same
time?

Thanks in advance to all.
