Joe Doaks Backtests Unlikely Strategies

Here's an unlikely strategy: front-run an ema crossover. To do this you have to go with the last bar's ema, then with each tick before the next bar, treat the new tick as the closing price of the next bar. Compute a prospective ema for the next bar -- what it would be if the next bar closes equal to the current tick. If it looks good, trade, before the next bar is complete.

Now this sounds interesting ...
 
Stoli, you have an evil mind. Would you please delete your post? All I will say is that I have incontrovertible evidence that THEIR computers predict. Minutes ahead. Now so does mine.

After realizing that i've given away the store, I would delete it. But I see it's been quoted, so it's out there. In the public domain, so to speak.
 
Damn! I was making money off that! Anyway, fuck around with projecting into the future and see what YOU get. All this presumes that you can code, which 99.99% of ET cun't.
 
Joe, Joe, Joe... there you go talking to yourself again... you must really miss Jack!

Exactement! My initial post was a total fraud to see if anyone would call me a liar. NOBODY did. How much trouble does it take to code "Buy Wednesday" if you are a fona bide backtester? Maybe 30 seconds. In fact, it is a wiener.

:)

a better one is just project out a trendie off the peaks, and treat the trendy crossover as the EMA cross, saves you some cost of entry..
