Yes!I think the attraction is because mine has lines painted across until the next iB. I can post mine later so people can have options
@mashume I've done some basic back testing, using instead MA_Min as a Buy and MA_Max as a sell signal, with Close and 21 length. Seems pretty good so far. Have you tried back testing with those? What are your thoughts on using those MAs as signals?
Thanks again for all your effort and time!
Here it is:Yes!

@mashume If I am not asking for too much, can you update the 1st post in this thread with the latest version of indicator, scan and watchlist code. It will be easy for anyone to try. Thanks for building and sharing this selflessly.
I wanted to add, that this part of the indicator when it does delay seems to be only affecting the MA_Min and Ma_Max parts and I wanted to advise anybody eye testing the results on it but rather just use the OnDemand feature if the market is close or watch it live. While watching it live on Eur/USD, and a few Futures Market today, this issue only occurred once so its nothing I would say is major but just a caution. I will test it out tomorrow during busy hours. Other than that the rest of the indicator seems to be working as the author intended. I am not using this to determine any of my trading but just wanted to give some feedback on someone looking at it live and testing in ondemand.
More testing and I am seeing it do a lot now as I am watching more closely today. Anytime something makes a major turn it will print 1-2 bars back as if it was already there. Was watching Eur/Usd for fun and notice that when it went up fast it would print it 2 bars ago and than Eur/USD went the other direction and than the signal would disappear. Just note this is only on the MA parts of the indicator.Thanks for the heads up, i'll keep my eye open re delay. I like to use multiple time frames, so i'm thinking about entering when MA_Min is green on a higher time, and then exit when MA_Max prints on a shorter time frame. (e.g. enter on Hourly, exit on 15 or 30, etc)
It appears and vanish sometimes too quick from my slow self to take a pic hehe but I would say best thing is for the creator to go to "On Demand" in the platform and replay 8:20am-8:50am Eur/Usd on a 1hr chart and you will notice it doing it about 2-3 times if I remember. Of course you can't replay tell Tomorrow. Also another one to test is at 8:47-8:48am "/CL" one a one minute chart and you will see that the MA is apperaing and than vanish in the pervious bar due to price changing. Think those two spots will be good for anybody to see for themself.@toopoor88 try and screen capture if possible. I'm doing testing for ticks. do share.
I don't use the mobile but wanted to test out your statement today. I loaded up "/ES" put it on 1 min chart and notice at 10:35am that bar was finish printing. No signal was printed but as the 10:36am bar had about roughly 10 secs left before it close the 10:35am now shows the signal. I havent seen it erase anything once printed but there is a chance that it will go back if nothing was printed and place something.@toopoor88 i'm manually marking the Max min after bar closes. I will feed back.
but i repeat again, my understanding of repainting indicators is they will not work on mobile. so far been printing really good, although some trades would be a loser.
