Because - many of us subscribing to this official SPY system use
the signals in various ways - not necessarily trading SPY.
Your most recent improvement which Matt explained in a previous
post here - was to use the 200 ma as a filter for deciding whether
there would be an entry.
Would it be a much extra trouble to let us know about signals
from the previous (no longer official) method occur?
Thank you for the suggestion! I am not sure about that but
we can definitely try. The edits Matt made did not really
affect many trades from my memory and just filtered out a few
trades that Matt didn't feel comfortable with and was able to
define a rule to just remove those.
Using a long term moving average to help gauge trend is NOT new
but possibly Matt never shared what he was using but again that was
a NOT a change. The only new thing that came about
referencing the 200 day, to my knowledge, is a stop that uses the
200 day MA that I know Matt has shared and explained before in the
Community.
The only reason I say try is because we utilize alerts from the
system and now the code is written to alert using the new
rules. We would have to manually recognize the old condition
existing and that it was being filtered. Not impossible but
just adds another wrinkle. I may be able to just upload an
old version of the system and put it into a different workspace but
honestly shouldn't come into play very often in my opinion.
