For tutorial students: To chart

    For tutorial students: To chart distance from an MA, you can use the Detrended Oscillator indicator on most platforms or you can detrend the MACD on your own. Here's the Russell cash with the MACD detrended to plot distance from the 9MA. Looking back on extreme distances over the last year, +/-20 starts to raise the RTM probabilities, so I put a green line at -20 & a red line at +20.

    Steve,

    I think I wrote the day you posted this but it didn't appear so I write again. Can you give a us details on how to set this up. I played but didn't get it.

    Thanks,

    But thanks for confusing me with Steve  Smile...I had a dream last night that I was close friends with Gretsky. Just want to associate with the great ones.

    Thanks Alex

    Here's the key difference: I'm from Minnesota; Steve's from Wisconsin; I live in California; he lives in Arizona. If he moves to Texas, I'm not moving to New Mexico or Oklahoma, though.

    Will try it out. Thank you mkrmdz.

    I'm interested in trying to get an indicator that does exact percentage moves.  I suppose I could do this on tc2000, but it would be nice to have something on tos that could do the "percent above 9dma" or "percent retracement from 3 day high" etc.  The best intermediate trades in the Model Portfolio have come from the 10 , 13% , and 12% , two to four-day , selloffs we've had the past month   Any ideas which oscillators could be used to pick that up?

    Could write this in StrategyDesk
