Hello Alwin,

This is an interesting topic and on that I have had a crack at solving in 
the past with not very much luck. Correct me if I'm wrong but, as I 
understand your question, rather than wait until the next day to enter a 
trade triggered by an EMA cross on the closing price, you would like to 
enter the trade if the price is at such a level, say, just before the 
market closes? In effect, preempting the day's close.

I believe that this is known as reverse engineering the indicator. 
Personally, I would love to see corresponding formulas for other indicators 
such as the RSI, stochastics as well as MA crossovers. Why wait for next 
day's open when you can get in before the close on the day before?

Any mathematical minds fancy giving it a go?

Regards,
Kevin
