Dimitris:
 
I think you are going down the 
overfit/overoptimization road, and forcing the OS and OB time to be 
equal is as arbitrary.  Why not just optimize both, thereby letting 
the market tell you what it wants.  Of course, if you are a glutton for 
punishment then you could do it for each issue, and recheck weekly, etc. asit 
will undoubtedly change over time.

Subject: [amibroker] Oversold and 
Overbought Time 

Oversold and overbought levels are usually selected by 
experience and maybe not satisfactory for a certain Market.We can 
change levels in order to give a more reliable description of the 
Market.
 
1. When we select 30, 70 , i.e. equal distance from 0, 100, 
we have not any  reasonto do it. Perhaps 24, 70 for example would be 
more realistic.
 
2. I have the following idea: 
I will examine the oversold time for each stock, I will take 
its average and so I willdefine the "mean oversold time (MOT)" for the 
Market.This will be done for an oversold level which gives MOT >5%of 
total days, else oversold is meaningless.
 
3. Then I will search for a certain overbought level which 
gives the same "meanoverbought time". I consider this more fair for 
the Market, whereas 30, 70 or 20, 80sounds abritary.In other words, I 
ask levels which share the time equally for oversold and 
overboughtphases.
 
Any  opinion on this ?(The thought behind the 
curtain is that buyers and sellers wait nearly the same time interval, 
until they change the trend.)

(formulas are almost prepared, I want to discuss the basic 
thought).
