Sorry but I don't understand your answer -- a swing system is
just as subject to whipsaws no? If you look at the chart I posted
you can see the 15 crossed above the 84 on the 10:00 to 10:06 bar
so the system went long but then it crossed back down on the next
bar so the system went short till the recent long signal on the
11:12 to 11:18 bar. Not blaming the system -- it has a great record
-- I just want to understand what's different if you didn't have
that whipsaw. Thanks.
no it didn't, the SKF swing system went long and the MA's are
still apart, no where near crossing back down. the long might
end of being a whipsaw or it might be a big winner, who knows yet,
but they have not crossed back down.

Matt,

it's a swing system, why would it sell so quickly. yes it will be long until either the 15/84 SMA's cross on the 6 min chart or profit target is hit
Sorry but I don't understand

The chart you posted shows the same whipsaw -- buy, sell, buy --- unless you filtered it out with some other criteria?
