Thanks, Tom!
Wow, glad to hear from the Master! I'll review your syntax right now.

Tom, obviously, I'm new to AB and spent the last two days going 
through old posts, reading the helps, learning the software and 
whatnot. It's impressive and seems almost as robust as software big 
dollars more (TS, MS).

I'm too cheap to upgrade my old MetaStock so I'm playing with a trial 
AB before my registration. My trial is to work out this darn MACD 
Histogram I'm trying to backtest. I've tried on my own, but 
struggled so far.

Therefore, I appreciate everyone's help - this seems like a great 
community you have here!

Where's the best sites to get me up to speed with the syntax (other 
than what I'm doing) so I don't waste member's time with too many 
silly newbie questions?

Best,
ghoup
