Thanks to the lucid explanation of lag elimination in exponential moving averages, I have been able to apply the technique to the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets that I use for stock charting. However, a similar application of the Hilbert transform to identifying cycles within a historical stock-data string eludes me. I confess to not possessing a program that uses EasyLanguage and ask if you can refer me to a suitable article detailing the use of the transform with a spreadsheet. I may say I am averse to taking a black-box approach when it comes to generating indicators. TREVOR BESTOW, via E-mail Roleystone, Australia Thank you for writing. Sorry, we haven't published an article on the Hilbert transform with a spreadsheet approach. See also the next letter. —Editor
