Program Overview

This program classifies price action into the following states based upon rules 
his book - "How to Trade in Stocks"

StateNo1 - Up Trend
StateNo2 - Nat Rally
StateNo3 - Sec Rally
StateNo4 - Dn Trend
StateNo5 - Nat React
StateNo6 - Sec React

State change is determined by a user specified threshold of price change.
The program also determines a number of pivot points:

UpTrendPP  - Peak Up Trend Price
NatRallyPP - Peak Nat Rally Price
DnTrendPP  - Bottom Dn Trend Price
NatReactPP - Bottom Nat React Price

This program may be used as a basis for a number of studies:
- trend paint bars,
- pivot price indicator lines
- strategies (trend following AND/OR breakout/breakDn)
