RE: Tillman Moving Average, T3-"Jurik shows it comes the closest to JMA"

JMA also offers the "Phase" parameter which Jurik demonstrates using in crossover
systems, MACD, etc.  Not owning the software, I can't speak authoritatively about
what this does, but it seems to have a different effect then just playing with the
lag period, and loooks very powerful.

Does anyone have any insight into this, and especially how one might achieve a
similar effect with T3??
