Re: Zero Lag EMA

I was comparing the Zero Lag ema to three different  moving averages.
simple, exponential, and time series, and against macd, and price
oscillator. The time series mov gave the earliest signals, ema was next and
sma was latest.
the macd gave good signals, and price oscillator gave good signals
regardless of type of mov average used  The ZeroLag was not at all close to
the close.  I used the time periods for the Zero Lag EMA that were posted
here, and I used cut and paste to copy the indicator to Metastock.

Time series mov used in the price oscillator gave a ragged curve as compared
with ema mov's. Ema and simple mov's gave smoother curves.
