Hey Simstim, Thanks for your contributions to the discussion and I don't consider anything you are doing to be "usurping" in any way. Keep the thoughts coming. You mention a disagreement and that is fine. Before I address that particular, let me comment on your (second) spreadsheet that...

To all contributing to the thead: Thanks for the input so far. There are quite a number of questions that are being asked and theories being presented and I appreciate all of them. I have put my next (long) post on hold to address a few of these questions. I will try to address these in...

You are absolutely correct jaan. Thanks for pointing that out. So, of the last three columns on the right, the total at the bottom of the first one (K) is incorrect and the totals of the last two are correct. I didn't catch that as I didn't even pay a whit of attention to that column...

Hi Magna, Thanks for the response. I will be happy to use the complain button if that won't upset someone. Thanks again for the great forum. JB

Hey DB, thanks so much. Only one problem...that works for all the other forums, but not "Technical Analysis" (try it if you will be so kind). When you told me how to do it I felt like a Moron figuring I had just missed it, but nope. So, now the questions is just a bit different...Who...
