Haven't noticed the EMA discrepancy yet, but will look. What did surprise me, though is how the personal formula test works. It seems that instead of using the chart data, the test apparently looks at the actual variables in the formulas and uses data that closely correspond to the period of variable under test in the formula. For instance, if a formula contains AVGC10 (10-day MA), only the latest 12-days are used for the actual calculation. This is really bizarre! Why not use the whole chart? Those are the data TC will be using to do the actual stock pick based on the formula! Anyone else see this? Or, perhaps someone can tell me what I'm missing...
