Subject : RE: Two "Exponential" Moving Average Crossover

I understand the Filter Block... it is very simple and as the matter of fact, the ability of the filter block is why I posted on this forum. I saw something similar to filter block of if one EMA is lower than another... short... etc.

Back to the point... Jim, how come you set the Lookback in the VB to 0? I was trying to understand why the signal won't fire when they concur with each other.

Now it makes sense to me about the way the filter block woeks. The lookback period is still required to get a long/short strategy vote signal, unless it is perfectly lined up with each other.

I also noticed for the filterFast, you set the FB to 5/20 and SB to 10/40. For the filterSlow, you reversed it rather than keeping the SB the same in both cases. This also makes it a bit harder to correlate the fast and slow.

I think I blew a few brain cells trying to decipher your lessons... but all is good because those are 'blockade" brain cells. LOL.
