too many false signals, this system is going to ruin you

almost 15 years ago

it looks nice but it should be implemented correctly. If you add that the signal is only known at the close of the bar you need to use:

Buy=Cover=Ref(Cross(j,nw),-1);
Sell=Short=Ref(Cross(nw,j),-1);
BuyPrice=SellPrice=CoverPrice=ShortPrice=O;

instead of:
Buy=Cover=Cross(j,nw);
Sell=Short=Cross(nw,j);
SellPrice=ValueWhen(Sell,C,1);
BuyPrice=ValueWhen(Buy,C,1);

in fact the shortprice and coverprice are not even defined so it will use default values. It gives you the false hope the system performs fantastically while in fact you will loose bigtime.
