Re: Optimization

Wilder set the RSI to 14 days because it was half 
the cycle length of 28 days that he noticed in his futures trades.  With 
the price oscillator, you as you said you set the values where you want to. 
Optimization can be helpful, its no panacea.

  I 
  cannot think of a system that is not optimized in some way. Even the length of 
  RSI or of the Price Oscillator are optimizations in that one must select a 
  value for the indicator.

    you must optize often. Les Williams, CMT
