help me here pierre 'cause i think i'm confused.
why can't you use mbb to set a stabilization threshold thus allowing
the xaverages time to settle down? you state you can't, but why not?
example: you determine that it takes 500 bars for "whatever momemtum
thingy (wmt)" you have to stabilize. what happens if you set mb to 500
bars? i'm thinking here in terms of "wmt" system testing and
optimization.
i guess i'm confused on the proper application of the mbb function.

The purpose of maxbarsback is not to allow a stabilization period in a

the MBB
setting.
MBB is the size of the lookback window that is carried from a bar to
an other an that allow to read a past value of any variable using the
something[n] syntax.
It's also allow to start te calculation when a sufficient number of
bar exist to display the returned value.
You may set MBB to 1 in an Xaverage calculation if you want... This
will not solve the stabilization problem of Xaverages.
