Let me get this right, this whole filter is based off the slope of the DMA(28,-14) being above 0?

Run over to www.transitionstrading.com/Displaced_Moving.htm
It will explain the price bar calculations.

There is a perfect illustration over at www.prophet.net Click on the link "Learn." Then click on "T/A Glossary" When that opens up, look on the far left side of the page and click on the 4th indicator "Displaced M.A." It will explain everything and give a perfect example of what I'm doing here.

I understand... Why on Prophet.NET does the displaced MA fill the chart but on StockCharts it does the following:

That's because stockcharts.com has always been a cheap IMITATION of live streaming charts. It's a waste of $20 if you ask me. Although I do like the "Gallery View" charts with the P&F screen. Cheers!

Read "Trading for a living" too. It's a good book for rookies.
I use two setups from "Smart Trading" for the last 4 months and doing fine.

You are right. I'm trying to do what you suggested, but I'm getting frostrated because I get out too soon, or just befor the big move I anticipated occures. So I get out with 3% gain (not bad at all for two days) instead of 10%+ if I stayed another day.
I'm trying to come up with a better exit strategy, but with no success. The fear of loosing the small gain overshadows the potential gain I might gain if I stay longer.

You can always sell 1/2 (or 1/3, 2/3, etc.) of your position, lock in profits and set a stop at breakeven. So if it runs up big you will make more money and if it reverses, then you are out with a profit. Either way you MAKE MONEY AND THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME!
MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.
