Also one more comment. I know little about the program you are using so probably should not comment but did have an idea after reading some of the previous post that may be helpful. The older post discussed stocks that had worked well and then fell out of sinc so you where trying to find others that would currently fit. Instead of finding other stocks maybe re-optimize the current ones. Instead of a 5 over 8 on a 60 min. try 5 over 8 on longer and shorter periods. If 5 over 8/60 min. is the base rate or zero point start, then fluctuate 5 min. in either direction until the timing falls back into place. I would say the timing is the variable not the MA you are using, that is a different relationship and probably should stay fixed. Also, I would not start optimizing when the program failed to do well but start at the middle of the best part. Then retest each week. The hope is you find a slow migration as the stock's cycle changes. It may move from 60 to 65 to 70 and then back. May help boots
