< I wonder about the same thing for stock splits, like AOL the other day?> There is a previous post somewhere that has Andrew's comments about stock splits. Not sure of exactly where it is.

Well that explains the false sell signal I've gotten on nets that are trading at new highs. I'm seeing that too. I thought that if I didn't use price as an input, just the short & long term inputs, I'd avoid this effect. But I'm reviewing and retraining my nets on stocks that are making new all-time highs. Even without price, they're giving early sell signals. In real-life trading, I suppose the way to handle this, assuming you're already long an issue making new highs, is to set a tailing sell stop instead of an outright sell order when the signal changes.
