{{{ 34 period mov avg of above indicator}}}

Look for crosses of the two indicators for positive or negatives.

Now, there are many whipsaws. I don't recommend this as a *system* at all, just as an
indicator. It really highlights some big moves but measuring it with the system test is
useless. You must use this as ONE of the tools -- not THE tool.

Finding Trendiness

A remark by Chuck LeBeau about trading with the trend has stayed with me. He speaks of
the actual strength of a trend as opposed to merely its direction. Entry strategies (pullbacks
in his view) should be tailored to both direction and strength, he says. This makes perfect
sense to me.

Here are some initial thoughts. Perhaps you can help me to arrive at some kind of
"hierarchy" of trendiness, or call it a classification, or a taxonomy,
consisting of both direction and strength. For convenience, I'll describe only long trades.

I. General direction, long term:
EMA(21) > EMA(55)

II. Trend picks up steam:
EMA(13) > EMA(21) > EMA(55)

III. Strong:
EMA(8) >EMA(13) > EMA(21) > EMA(55)

IV. Somewhere between II. and III. the ADX(13/14) usually starts rising. From what I've
seen, a rising ADX at any level generally means business:
ADX(13) > Ref(ADX(13),-1)

V. Very strong trend: (this is where Linda Bradford's "Holy Grail" and such kick in)
ADX(13) > Ref(ADX(13) and
ADX(13) > 30

Almost forgot . . . very little direction (but don't fall asleep at the wheel):
ADX(13) < say, 12-15 and has been bumbling along down there for a while (hard to
quantify for me to date)

Forecast Oscillator

Many moons ago, I posted a little linear regression system that featured the Forecast
Oscillator. The response was surprising (lots of it) and today, I still communicate with many
of the original respondents. I've continued to use the same "framework" for my testing. In
an earlier post today (a private email that made it to the list...I'm a little dingy
tonight...had to get up a 5 am to trade cocoa), I alluded to using the CMO. I've used many
indicators in these tests (i.e., Forecast Oscillator, a modified Time Series Forecast, MACD
Histogram, Bollinger Band Histogram, CMO, & others).

Before I explain the method to my madness, please read the following sentences carefully.
Backtesting systems is very dangerous. The act of backtesting is not the dangerous
part...believing that the results can be duplicated in the future is very dangerous. Let's face
it, we are "best fitting" circumstances to static prices etched in stone. So please, I'd prefer
not to hear the lectures about the folly I pursue. I've been system testing since 1975 and
I've made a bazillion mistakes (and a little chump change) over the years. I'm still looking

Metastock Formulas - F

http://www.meta-formula.com/Metastock-Formulas-F.html

for the holy grail. So, here's the outline:

1. The basic formula:

Enter Long:
Cross(opt1,ForecastOsc(CLOSE,opt3))

Close Long:
Cross(ForecastOsc(CLOSE,opt3),opt2)

Enter Short:
Cross(ForecastOsc(CLOSE,opt3),opt2)

Close Short:
Cross(opt1,ForecastOsc(CLOSE,opt3))

You can substitute any standard formula for the ForecastOsc or you can put in a custom
formula (just remember that custom formulae need to look like:
fml("Karnack's SuperSecret") It's in your manual.

2. opt3:

In this search "opt3" represents the number of days inserted into the forecast oscillator. I
usually use three (3) to ten (10) for the forecast oscillator, but if I'm using a custom
formula, sometimes I don't even need opt3, because I using a fixed set of parameters within
the custom formula.

3. opt1:

Opt1 is the numeric value below a zero basis line that will trigger a long position and close
out the short. Yes Virginia, in my secular little world, I prefer stop and reverse trading. The
parameters for this option depends on the commodity (and yes, it does work on stocks)
you're trading. One must eyeball the forecast oscillator to see how far it swings above and
below zero. For the forecast oscillator, I usually use 0 to -3.

4. opt2:

Opt2 is the numeric value above a zero basis line that will trigger a short sale. Zero to 3
seems to work for this formula.

5. Steps:

I step opt3 using whole numbers to represent days. With Opt1 and Opt2, I use: .1 steps.

6. Other indicators:

When substituting the CMO (or any indicator) for the Forecast Oscillator, one must be aware
of the terrain the indicator travels over. It would be ridiculous to us zero to 3 (as the
optimizing numbers) if the mid point is 50 and the indicator traverses between +10 (on the
downside) and +90 (on the upside).

The overall theory behind this test is that many indicator oscillate from positive to negative
and back again (duh). The trick is not to trigger action when the indicator turns in a new
direction (if you're interested, I've been down that road and I'm still wearing a neck brace
from the whiplash). The theory is that once an indicator extends to a certain level, the
market is either overbought or oversold.

In downtrending markets (can you spell deflation?), the short sale trigger (opt2) is going to
be closer to the zero basis line than opt1. Please see the attachment. What will happen
when the grains, cocoa, crude, and damn near everything else starts to go up? Good
question Steve! The system will not perform as well if you continue to use the same
parameters. In a perfectly sideways market, one would assume that the trigger points would
be equal distance from zero. As in many markets, this system works better when things
trend indefinitely.

I hope this post will help others who have inquired about the linear regression system.
Attached is the original system, using the Forecast Oscillator, for March Crude Oil. In this
example, opt3 is set to 8 (number of days in the forecast oscillator); opt2 is .1 (sell signal);
opt1 is -2.3 (buy signal).

To quote R.N. Elliot: "Even though we many not understand the cause underlying a
particular phenomenon, we can, by observation, predict the phenomenon's recurrence."

To qoute Karnack (my alter ego): "I got knocked down seven times and got up eight".

Finally, from a trader on the realtraders forum: "Futures trading involves financial risk, lots
of it".

Front Weighted 36 Day Moving Average

This indicator requires 3 sub calculations and then the totalling of all 3 to get the final
indicator:

This is the basic calculation:
Take the closing prices of your instrument 34 days ago - 26 days ago (inclusive), multiply
each daily value by 0.01 and write each value down.
Then take the closing prices of your instrument 25 days ago - 18 days ago (inclusive),
multiply each daily value by 0.02 and write each value down.
Then take the closing prices of your instrument 25 days ago - 18 days ago (inclusive),
multiply each daily value by 0.02 and write each value down.
Then take the closing price of your instrument 17 days ago and multiply by 0.03 ad write
the value down.
Then take the closing price of your instrument 16 days ago - 8 days ago (inclusive),
multiply by 0.031 and write each value down.
Then take the closing price of your instrument 7 days ago - 6 days ago (inclusive), multiply
by 0.006 and write each value down.
Then take the closing price of your instrument 5 days ago - 1 day ago (inclusive), multiply
by 0.07 and write each value down.
Then take the closing price of your instrument today, multiply by 0.079 and write this value
down.

Finally, add up all the values that you wrote down and plot the value on the chart, repeat
this for every new trading day.

Simple Interpretation:
Front Weighted 36 Day Moving Average is similar to all other moving averages. The
interpretation is just as with all others, the trend is up when prices are above the moving
average and the trend is down when prices are below the moving averages. This particular
variation attempts to weight the data at the front more than that at the back, with a sliding
scale for each trading days value.

Full Formula for RSI

{The following is copied from the Formula Field of my *RSI canonical_12_day_for_P_I
indicator. Change m if you choose another # of periods n for rsi.}

{I wrote my own "canonical" RSI(12) which coincides with MetaStock's RSI(12) if m=2*n-1
where m is used below in Mov( ,m,E); n - a number of periods in rsi(n). Mind that since I
didn't use those particular tricks from the standard rsi(n) to shorten the initial transitional
period, this function and standard rsi(n) differ for about month or so from the day 1. It was
not that important for me, so I used this shortcut.}

Freeburg Precious Metal Switch Fund System

To create the Freeburg Precious Metal Switch Fund system in MetaStock for Windows, you
must first create the K ratio as a composite security. To do this, launch The Downloader
from MetaStock, and choose New and then Composite from The Downloader's File menu.
Make sure the directory specified is the directory where your weekly GMI and Handy and
Harman data are located. Name the composite the K ratio, then choose the Barron's Gold
Mining Index as the Primary symbol and Handy and Harman prices as the secondary symbol.
Next, choose Divide as the Operator and the click the OK button to add the composite. Open
the K ratio chart in MetaStock, Plot the Bollinger Bands Indicator and enter 46 for the
number of periods and 2.3 for the standard deviations. Plot Bollinger Bands again and enter
4 for the periods and 1.6 for the Standard Deviations.

The data necessary for this chart/indicator, is extremely difficult to obtain. The only source
we are aware of on diskette is the author of the article. The data is in a Lotus spreadsheet.
It must be output to ASCII and then converted to MetaStock data files. He will make a small
charge for this data.

To keep the GMI data updated, it is only available from Barrons magazine and must be
manually input. The Handy & Harman data must also be manually updated. This may be
obtained from the Wall Street Journal as well.

Oscillator, two conditions to colour bars and two system tests. All of these can be created
quite easily in MetaStock 6.5. To create the Point of Balance Oscillator, choose Indicator
Builder from the Tools menu, click on the New button, and enter the following formula:

POBC1 := (HHV(CLOSE, n) + LLV(CLOSE,n))/2;
POBC2 := (HHV(POBC1, n) + LLV(POBC1,n))/2;
POBC3 := (HHV(POBC2, n) + LLV(POBC2,n))/2;
POBC4 := (HHV(POBC3, n) + LLV(POBC3,n))/2;
POBC5 := (HHV(POBC4, n) + LLV(POBC4,n))/2;
POBC6 := (HHV(POBC5, n) + LLV(POBC5,n))/2;
POBC7 := (HHV(POBC6, n) + LLV(POBC6,n))/2;
