<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Inside Wall Street 
article in the new Omega Reasearch Magazine is titled: Using Multi-Period 
Analysis To Isolate Trends.&nbsp; In this article by Donna Kline, she writes 
about trend analysis using daily, weekly and monthly charts.&nbsp; She also 
shows how to take a daily chart using an Omega program and add weekly bars to it 
to see both the daily and weekly trend on the same chart. A new technique to 
me.</FONT></DIV>

    <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Re: the multiple time frame question 
    below.&nbsp; Don't know exactly what you may mean by &quot;multiple cycle 
    time frame analysis, techniques&quot; but here are a few places to 
    look.</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cynthia Kase discusses multiple time 
    frame trading in her book &quot;Trading with the Odds&quot;.&nbsp; The 
    chapter to look at has the word &quot;timeframe&quot; in it.&nbsp; I think 
    her idea of &quot;scaling up in timeframes&quot; is a terrific one for 
    transforming day trades to position trades. (Though I haven't actually done 
    it but only have plans to try it at some point.)&nbsp; I also think her 
    discussion of timeframes and risk is terrific and a MUST READ for newbies 
    with small accounts.</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Alexander Elder has a discussion of 
    multiple time frames in his book &quot;Trading for a Living.&quot;&nbsp; See 
    the chapter on &quot;Triple Screen.&quot;</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Robert Krausz has a brief discussion 
    of multiple time frames in his &quot;Gann Treasure...&quot; 
    book.</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>My recommendation would be to start with Kase and work 
    down the list.&nbsp; The essential ideas Kase, Elder, and Krausz lay out are 
    the same albeit they call these ideas different things (e.g., Kase's 
    &quot;Permission Stochastic&quot; is similar to Elder's &quot;Triple 
    Screen&quot;).&nbsp; IMO, it's important to focus on the multiple time frame 
    concepts rather than on the specific indicators they recommend to use for 
    each time frame.&nbsp; Both Kase and Elder distinguish 3 useful timeframes 
    for trading</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>Key questions:</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How many timeframes should be 
    considered in initiating a trade?</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What is the proportion across the 
    timeframes that should be used?&nbsp; Is it fixed (as in Elder's 
    &quot;Factor of Five&quot;) or market specific?</FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>

Hello Folks

The way I was told about the SwingMachine program is that it's more of a 
confirming indicator.. It's not a trending indicator....In other word, when 
the machine looks back to it's old swings..the machine will try to make 
possible projections... It's not predictive or anything like that... It 
will only show the projections..
Sometime it will show two or three possible projections  but today it had 
show many possible movement but at the end of the day, it proved that it 
went down...
I as a trader happen to view that a good trader will think that anything 
can happen in the market... I may decide to go long... but I must also 
think that I can be wrong too.. I like clyde lee's swingmachine becuz it 
shows possible different projections every time I run the data through the 
machine.. and when I watch the market makes its' move, I can follow by 
looking at the swing chart..  The swingmachine is a good Daytrading tool. 
 If you have a good trending indicator be it a Elliott wave program or 
whatever, the swingmachine will probably also help in determining your 
decision to make a trade...
Some of you may say that none would sell the Golden Goose... I say this is 
the reason why none can sell the Golden Goose is becuz there is no Golden 
Goose to begin with...
Finally, I want to express my deepest respect for the author of this 
program.. He did not charge me 1500 bucks on the program... His only wish 
is for us the traders to contribute something in regard to his program... 
He probably could interpret the chart better than I can...

Respectfully Yours
Gary Bodnar
