OK ... looking at nearly-functionally-identical variants of the strategy:

#1. Exactly identical
You can do exactly the same thing as our current strategy does, by using the "Duplicate" function within a given System block ... here's how:

a. CTL-S or ToDo > Strategies to see the list > highlight current strat
b. Click Edit > Save AS > new name: aJDgyDoubleDualEMA-2in1sysB > OK
c. Check the box next to that new Strategy and Edit it
d. Strategy edit > delete the 2nd System block (rightclick or drag away)
e. Open the remaining System block
f. Click the Enable checkbox at top left 2x so that the ONE system we were using is showing (a quick way of finding it in the list - not req'd)
g. Click the "Duplicate" button (bottom center) and give it a new name - call it "SLOW Two Moving Average Crossovers"
h. Edit the default param's to be 10 & 40 instead of 5 & 20
(change all min/max/incr/def if desired: 5,15,5,10 and 30,50,10,40)
i. Click OK > make sure the new strat's box is checked in the ToDo list (leave the orig one checked, too) > Click OK

Your vote area now shows TWO strategies, each with plus signs ... and both should have the same voteline appearance. To examine just the new one, click its plus sign. Or, to remove the other one from view, go to the Strategy dropdown tool box and select just the one you want ... this cleans up the voteline.

This approach will produce idential voteline results to the original.
