I took this mq4 indicator and signal, changed the default 5 and 8 to 1 and 2 and have had nice success trading on the daily charts with it. Would love to replicate this on the Trade Station II and once and for all leave MT4 behind.
Thanks Clint
PS Big apologies if this is not the way to post the mq4 (Im not sure how to post it?). Hopefully i dont get too big a flaming :-S

| Allows you to enter two ema periods and it will then show you at |

| the zoom level is out. Also allows you then to remove the emas |
| from the chart.
