Maybe one of you radically awesome trade wizards will write my filter for me. It wants to reflect the ema as follows:
1. When the 39 MA is moving up buy when the 3 MA crosses up over the 13 MA. and/or when the 3 MA crosses above the 39 MA.. When the 13 MA crosses above the 39 MA consider adding to your long position. Exit and stand aside when the 3 crosses back below the 13 MA..
2. When the 39 MA is moving down sell short when the 3 MA crosses below the 13 MA. and/or when the 3 MA crosses below the 39 MA.. When the 13 MA crosses below the 39 MA consider adding to your short position. Exit and stand aside when the 3 MA crosses back up over the 13 MA.
Thanks in advance
Vincent

hi chetron again thanx for your work on my filter, i wonder if you might help me to better understand whats happening with it, sort of in general terms. what are your thoughts as you put it together. I could really use some help on setting up the backtester to reflect the trading rules in my post?

it's a crossover filter. you buy/buy to cover when it crosses above and sell/short when it crosses below.
i am not good with the backtester. i find writing filters easier. the backtester is too Convoluted. what i do like to do is draw the events on the chart and validate the filter that way.

Hi Chetron, the trading rules i understand. You created a bunch of what looks like Greek to me but apparently it returns some useful charts at the bottom of the page. How do you read the spikes and crosses, values in the right column? Thanks for all your help, maybe i can teach you guitar in return?

IT'S JAPANESE, NOT GREEK. LOL.
AS FOR THE DRAWING....
3XA13 IS A SPIKE WHEN MA(3) CROSSES ABOVE MA(13)
3XA39 IS A SPIKE WHEN MA(3) CROSSES ABOVE MA(39)
39UP IS A 1 WHEN INCREASING (UP TRENDISH)
X = CROSSOVER
B = BELOW
ETC........
AS FOR THE COLUMNS
YOU CAN SORT ON YOUR FAVORITE PLAYS (CROSSOVERS/TRENDS)

It's begining to make sence...scary. I entered a trade this morning based the the returns (lscc) and I am using the same MA's on a per 1 min chart.
Any ideas on a confirming indicator? I've added the RSI and changed the smoothing to (2) ?
