Ah, Tomasz, we've been through this before.  That is exactly the technique I
thought would work, all the way back when I was still using Metastock.  It
doesn't--and I did not bungle the code.  When the price reverses and moves
far enough in the wrong direction, that last leg ceases to be "valid."

Try using it with real-time data, and you will see the problem.  Use small
intraday bars, or it will take a while.  Trading--yes, I blew actual money
on this!--T-bonds on 3-minute bars, there were two occasions in three weeks
where all the losing trade signals disappeared and were replaced by winners
that had not happened in real time.  Then I stopped trading until I figured
out what was going on.

This is the sneakiest error of trading logic I have ever run into.  It would
have to be to catch you and that other extremely bright guy I won't name
here.  And you probably will not catch it until you see it happen in real
time, because you won't believe I am right.  But this problem is real.

Everyone else, I promise you, if you trade this way for long enough I'll be
the richest guy here, because I will still have the loose change in my
pockets, and you won't.

Just sincerely trying to help.
