If the Exhaustion short was part of the SPY system, how come it didn't signal a short trade in Nov or Jan?  Or maybe I'm not understanding this?

    read the post again man - I just ran the backtest!

    other answer is that the daily SPY and ES systems use a fast length typically for the exhaustion short like an 8 SMA.  Not sure why I never tested a longer length like the 20 but I didn't, it is what it is.  What prompted me to test was that Intra day someone sent me some statistics in an email about # consecutive days above a 20 MA and so I ran my own test using the 20 day MA to see what I get with my code.

    clear now?

    the same exhaustion 20 MA

    the same exhaustion 20 MA trade applies for longs?

    no, have not tested that.
