Excellent work. So that's how you do a "cross" function in WoW. I wasn't sure how to do it. You've got it right. I'm glad I posted that stuff. The entry and/or exit points are when the slow stochastic first crosses those mid point bollinger bands. One thing to add to improve the % profitability. You should add something that allows you to only trade in the direction of the current trend/moving average on price. The 3 or 5 day slope of the moving average should be + for going long and - for shorting. If you have formulas in mind PLEASE post them here. Thanks.

Here's a Wow function for the slope/trend (12 day moving average). The slope is measured over the past 5 days. Alternately you could use 3 days or something else: (ref(mov(c,12,s),-5)-ref(mov(c,12,s),0))/5 Enter long if the above is greater than some neutral trend threshold and your formulas are true. Close long if the trend goes neutral or you get the hook in stochastics by your formulas
