Different ways of averaging are tested on BSX stock prices for their ability to predict trend movements. An infinite selection of moving average techniques is available, including but not limited to moving weighted and exponentional averages and MACD indicators of various flavors.

Norman Fosback pointed out that a legitimate signal should be one that is clearly evident through a variety of averaging methods.
