Hi Enrico, 

Welcome to this list :)

You can either modify Text.pm in a way that it reads the data directly or
you can convert them with a perl-snippet as the following:

while (<>) {
  chomp;
  my @a = split /,/, $_;
  my $dat = shift @a;
  $dat =~ s/(....)(..)(..)/$1-$2-$3/;
  push @a, $dat;
  print join("\t", @a) . "\n"; 
}

This should work but at the moment I can't test it :)

Some weeks ago I posted a filed manual.tgz in one of the lists. If you
have a look at the archive you can find it. It is a goord starting point
for working with graphic.pl...

I don't understand this question. Do you want to find the optimal
parameters for an moving-average-system? In that case you can e.g.
generate all possible systems and test them using backtest_many.pl

What do you mean? Fuzzy indicators and signals?
