There ARE differences. Let me emphasize that ... even though maybe in our limited DJ30/12mo comparison not many showed up, that's a very small sample. And, when the expanded votelines are engaged, we can use them to see what's going on behind the scenes. And that is the point of the exercise. We are NOT trying to figure out which gives "better" signals ... but rather WHY they give DIFFERENT signals. This question of "WHY" is so VERY important to learn to use!! I teach a lot of people about a wide variety of things, and I've noticed HOW HARD it is to get people to ASK questions, these days. Let me encourage you to cultivate the art of asking questions. It requires you to examine things closely, and actually think about them. It encourages intelligent creativity. It helps a trader continually improve their track record. OK ... end of sermon (for a while ;~) The first snap shows the (single) example from the DJ30/12mo search that showed FS different than SF, for non-reversing systems. Look it over carefully ... make sure you understand WHY, from the detail on the voteline, FS fired but SF did not fire. The three following snaps show examples that use the Reversing flag ... this produces more signals, so more differences show up. Note the comments in red on the right side of the chart, in each case.
