With the reversing signal, there were were 44 additional trades (plus 5 incomplete trades). 14 of them were losers. The best trades occurred because the stock was not doing much, i.e., EMA(40) was quite flat, prior to the trade. Without the "Use Reversing Signals", the small whipsaws hid the good signals for the next 20 days. The worst trades occurred because the stock reversed twice within 9 to 15 days (most were about 10 or 11 days between reversals). The second reversal occurred very quickly after the trade was entered. # STOCK SIGNAL DATE GAIN/LOSS L/S 1 aa 2009-07-24 12.39% LONG 2 aa 2009-11-16 1.41% LONG 3 axp 2009-07-15 3.97% LONG 4 axp 2010-03-09 3.80% LONG 5 ba 2009-11-16 3.00% LONG 6 ba 2010-06-29 ?
