...that the position of the crosses on the Mechanical Systems
Charts can shift as new data comes in? I swear that I saw the
EMA's on the 15 min SRS system (from Matt's sticky post) cross over
on the 9:00 candle today, but now that the day has gone on, the
position of the cross has shifted backwards so that the cross looks
like it occured yesterday!
Vaguely reminiscent of
Animal Farmwhere the rules posted on the side of the barn
tended to change with time.
Anyway, so far I'm glad I took this trade. But the day is
young.....
My guess is it looks like that because the 9ema is getting
steeper with the move. Can really only judge the signal by reading
the ema values at at the close of the candles which still indicates
cross as today since 9ema value<=39ema value at close
yesterday.

I have also noticed that some of the candles change size and
shape in retrospect - is it because freestockcharts.com gets its
data only from BATS Exchange? This represents about 10% of total
traded volume, so is in effect a representative sample. Maybe it
updates total volume from other exchanges on a delayed basis,
thereby 'updating' certain candles and even slightly changing the
time of EMA cross over. Whatever, I prefer a more sinister
explanation...

all crosses are equal, but some are more equal than others
