Subject : RE: Two "Exponential" Moving Average Crossover

For #2 and #7 question. By reducing the lookback period, you reduce the chance the voting mechanic can see the two systems agree with each other to fire a buy signal. So reducing it to 2 eliminates any voting in CAT's case but is very narrow field of judgement that leads to no trades at all.

Increasing the lookback period will show much more signals as it shows concurred system signals.

It is strange how the system only works by the buy signal only rather the vote line of each system. Since the vote line of each system overlaps for a good period of time, the voting mechanic cannot 'see' those concurring lines.


Still have no idea about the bug. I can only see the date of entry is the same for either settings. Price is right.

System doesn't need to be 'Perfect'. Even I was trying to search for the holy grail long ago... via multiple indicators for 15 years. What did I learn? I missed a ?!&$*#!* of profits to be had. I wished I met a trader but never met one... only lots of wannabes. But then again, they don't want to share either.

Outstanding lessons here... now I need to learn how to make OT smack me to trades on what they see automatically when I boot it up... A popup of list would be nice!
