It seemed more appropriate than the robot signal as I want trend identification and not trade decisions; also it has less frequent signal.

Pascal - any feedback on this application? Do I miss something important?


Also:


If I do use the 20DMF signal for hedging it is standalone. Would it be advisable, and practical for me as a website user, to add the hysteresis (porosity) on my own?

A related comment: Would it be possible to add to the 'zoomed' 20DMF chart (and inverse ETFs graphs) the actual indicator reading, and the moving average value? When the signal is close to zero or MA level in the chart published before close it might be difficult to eyeball whether we have a transition or not.
Sure. I'll see if I can add these figures.
As a trend following tool, the 20DMF is better than the robot. However, it obviously does not work so well when there is no trend.
