There have been studies on 10 years of data on the usual 10-20 or so markets that these folks
trade.......50/200 xover should be looked at in the context of your available choices..
I think Covels book is the source of data that I am referring to.

Ah gee, you're right. It is a lot easier than I thought. Thank you. I'll now proceed to PRINT out the ENTIRE user guide like I should have instead of just reading bits of it on my screen. Thanks again to those who took some time with a newbie.

Taking the time to go through this will help immensely. The start looking at some of the filter code posted in the forums (especially Chetron and TRO's filters). I learned essentially all of the filter code I know by reading their posts several times each.
I look forward to seeing some code posted - don't be concerned if you get stuck trying to do something. Post the code with your question and people here will help.

Just the 12 sma on a monthly chart will keep you in and out of the major moves with few whipsaws. The 10 sma not as good.

The 26MA and 52MA cross on a weekly chart will help keep you out of severe trouble also (my personal favorite)

Can a filter be written to duplicate this? It looks like it would have a nice use when applied to a restrictive 401K account

no monthly data available. You might want to try a moving 52 week average:
