yes..pretty much Dave... I was confused on the dollar index...now I know that the index measures strenth among "all" other currencies..... these other "strength meters" I am referring to are popping up everywhere among the forex chat rooms, and several broker websites...(mt4 has it)... but I dont know from where they're getting their information... I will snoop around if I can find some time and forward some of the links if you would like to check them out....I have a gut feeling that the regular RSI is probably a better indicator anyway....Thanks Dave....Jerry
