Definately, as I mentioned, just curious about the use of MOVEA.

No, just the use of MOVEA in general.

Can't add to that!

Let's see now, weren't we discussing efficiency vs clarity? :-)

BTW you may have skewd the results in example 2, the others did not turn
off 20 indicators.

It's a good thing you noted the constant length or I wouldn't have known
how many indicators were being turned off.  And that's my issue with the
use of MOVEA or any technique that is that dependant on a side note to
provide 'clarity'.

I know that in the big picture of things this is just one of those small
issues.  It seems that the small issues are the ones that just about
lead to blows when a persons feels that their 'style' or education is
being questioned.

My thanks to you and Charlie for taking the time to benchmark this.
