Re: Signals vrs Indicators

I remember the particular application now.

I was in need of an indicator that would duplicate a dynamic breakout system
that slowly reduced the length of the exit stop lookbacks. In order to
correctly reset the lookback so that it would be valid on the same bar as
entry, the signal triggered it based on MP=0 and MP[1]<>0. If the system
reversed instead of spending at least one bar flat, the system could still
detect this condition intrabar just fine. The indicator would not.
Therefore, I could not make an indicator that *exactly* showed me visually
what the signal was doing.

My post about it should be back in 2001 as well.

Best regards,

Gene Pope
