But don't wait for me. I'm not quite sure how to express the result, but I'll give it a try. ConfirmBlock (5-0, 0-5, 5-5) experiment results demonstrate that the CB "expands" the SystemBlock results forward and backward. That is it opens up the SystemBlock signal window. Example: In our test, we have a VB 5 bar lookback. So, once the SB fires, the opportunity window is open for 5 bars from the initial signal for the next 5 bars. The CB 5-0 (5 back, 0 forward) adds 5 bars to the front of that window, and 0 to the end of that window. So, with CB 5-0, IF the CB fired 1 to 5 periods before the SB (or anytime during the VB 5 bar lookback), it would pass the voted signal through. Or alternatively, if we had a CB 0-5, it is similar (but not the same) as setting the VB to 10 bars, extending the SB signal window by an additional 5 bars. | |
