Can you add a third optional parameter to CMA so you can offset it in time just like DMA?

General Discussion · How does increasing work?

Yes, I believe "increase" is a strict rule.
If you want something that is not so strict you might try CMA and slope or something along those lines. If you search for CMA you will finds lots of good examples.
I am sure there are several other ways to attack the problem.

I don't know any sites better than the ones you have mentioned already. For charting I typically only use Meta Stock from Equis/Reuters.
I am not sure how good or bad it would be for charting stocks less than $1.00 but I expect it would be fine as long as the data is available from Yahoo or Reuters.

dangreene,
• Thanks that is exactly the information I was looking for.
tommybills,
• Thanks for the advice.
All,
• It seems to me that it would be more proper for the Back Test and Performance Column to use open of next day and provide a way to add slippage into the test.
This would allow you to run more accurate simulations based on the way StockFetcher and the traders works together since buy/sell signals can only be achieved End-Of-Day through StockFetcher.

• Does the back test buy on the day that the filter triggers or the next day?

Here is a variation of %B that is recommended as a buy signal by Bollinger. I must admit it does yeild some very interesting results on the little bit of back testing I have done.
Here is more information for Bollinger method II: http://www.bollingeronbollingerbands.com/methods/?method=2
Intro from web page:
Our second Bollinger Band demonstration method relies upon the idea that strong price action accompanied by strong indicator action is a good thing. It is a confirmation approach that waits for these two conditions to be met before giving an entry signal. Of course, the opposite, weakness confirmed by weak indicators, generates a sell signal.
