Hello Thomas,

yes I know and thank you for your advice it motivates me to finish what
I have already started. At the moment the MAMA is rather pre-alpha than
alpha :) I was posting it just to give you an impression of what it
might be. I was never claiming that it is a ready-to-use indicator.
Right now I'm rewriting it to make use of the I:G:Container module.
With Mr. Ehlers methods one can identify a cycle period in the market,
so my plan is to write a MAMA (now maybe following your cookbook),
which can be used on its own and whose sub-indicator period can be
passed to other MAs to make them adaptive this way.

regards,

Karsten
