TC, I'm a lurker on your thread and I'm fascinated at the results of your 5e/8s MA crossover method. However, I don't understand your exit rules. In the SNDK analysis, #19 shows entry at 51.5 and exit at 52.25. The entry price I understand, however on my IQC R/T, the 60 min. downbar at 14.30 caused the crossover to the downside. My chart shows the price at the end of that bar at 50.87. How did you get out at 52.25. Do you exit when the price bar crosses the 8s MA? Thanks for the help. Mac Oliver
