Hello Ken, thank you for your two messages. Your comment on the candlestick
moving average cross is interesting. What I cannot understand, however, is
why the system tester gives you entry signals when you have as an entry
system a candlestick simple moving average (without the cross part). This is
what I cannot understand, since there are not entry conditions. I would
appreciate it if you pick up the following moving average, copy-paste in the
system tester (enter long or enter short) and see with your own eyes that
the tester gives you entry signals when you run it on a particular market.
Mov((Sum((CLOSE -OPEN) >0,opt7)/
(Sum((CLOSE -OPEN) >0,opt7)+
Sum((CLOSE -OPEN) <0,opt7)))*100,opt8,S)
(where opt7 is 1 to 3, and opt8 is 1 to 5)
My question again is why is the system tester giving you entry signals if
there are not entry conditions? I need to know this so that I can code above
system in Visual Basic.MB
