Whoa guys, don't worry! I swear on my life the application is 100% safe. Here's a screen shot. The website www.stockstalker.com is blank because it's not ready yet. You can see the in-development version at http://www.stockstalker.com/ss_hiddentest/

Hello, I have been working on a piece of software which will not be commercially available for quite some time so please don't call this an ad. I am sincerely looking for people behind assorted proxies and firewalls to test my proxy support which has been problematic in the past. You can...

Long dollar positions should start firming up before the weak dollar alone causes dow 15k. A 50% increase among industrials is a tall order. I'd call it a very long term goal. I call Dow 15,000 no sooner than 2010. Perhaps you should make a poll

...about gold, is the AMEX still planning an ETF for gold? if so when and what'll the ticker be?

I used barchart.com for several months but have switched to http://www.msodata.com/

HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT: run a repeat for each tick, finding the ticks which are either the highest highs or lowest lows for the 20 (or so) bars on either side of the one being examined. The number of such bars found is the number of trends in the day + 1. IE: OPEN AT LOW, CLOSE AT HIGH DAY...
