[RT] Re: determining the trend

Based on reading the book, PPS Trading System, I constructed two
paintbar studies to depict the trend.  Blue bars constutute and uptrend,
and Red bars constitute a downtrend, and bars without color bars are neutral.

The study uses short and longer term moving average slopes in determination
of trend.  The studies are very reliable, and outperform a similar study
provided by the ASCTrend software package.

Happy trading,
