Ron22 - Hence, now you know why I call it the monkey wrench filter. I've seen the DMA repaint up to two days. I usually wait two full days to buy after a DMA signal. This is why I use other confirming signals using other indicators.

davesaint86 & cheese, I do not understand why you would use DMA(7,5) in this or any filter. I personally have seen DMA repaint on more than one occasion. Repainting makes any back test results incorrect. Right?
===============================================================================
Volumes have been written about DMA in this forum.
I will attempt a hopefully useful explanation and list some useful links for you.
But I have no desire to explain or discuss DMA with anyone. That's the job of Stockfetcher staff
who I honestly believe have done an excellent job.
DMA displaced forward do not repaint, and it is fairly commonly used in investing and trading.
Please check with your brokerage house, investment banks and advisers.
DMA displaced backward as presented by Stockfetcher is a feature that is liked by those who
know how to use it, and abhored by those who have not read the explanations, or who have
not understood it.
Stockfetcher staff have stated in more than one instances that DMA displaced backward do
in fact repaint until it reaches a certain point, and they explain that mechanism here:

and here

BlackBars started a discussion thread on DMA here:

BlackBars also provided two screenshots here:

You can find my collection of DMA links on Stockfetcher here:

With regards to backtesting, I still chuckle when I re-read alf44's comments here.
https://www.stockfetcher.com/forums/Filter-Exchange/The-RED-LIGHT-GREEN-LIGHT-Trading-System/117390/0
If you don't think alf44's comments were funny at all, how about this comment from my banker
to customers about account balances: If you don't like it, don't look at it.
As for DMA, one of four's comments was: To each his own.
If you decide to invest your time on DMA, do keep an open mind, don't let the loud opinions from others
influence you one way or another, may be your time investment could very well be worth it.
If you want good examples of how some smart people use DMA displaced backward , please
refer to the good work of davesaint86, Mactheriverrat, karennma, four, and riggs wallstreetgenius
the one who started all this spirited discussion..
This will be my one and only post on DMA on this thread.
Best.

Thanks Cheese.
Shills - What I've seen it do for example, on day one it would show a 1 in the number of days since triggered. On day two I've seen in where it started off with a 2 in the number of days since the triggered and by the afternoon it would show 3 days since the signal triggered and then signal back at 2 by the time the market closed. I've only seen this happen a few times. I never seen this happen on the weekly version. I'm definitely not an expert on DMAs. Could the fluctuations be caused if there was more than one cross during the day and then a re-cross? I just noticed that Cheese posted this from SF.

I actually use this filter to get in an out of my 401k selections. I used the second plot of DMA8 signals to purchase BA. (January 7th trigger not the ones two weeks before from the first set of plots). I use the other indicators to confirm the weekly DMA8. Mac developed the two sets of plots in the filter.

cheese and davesaint86, Thank you for your comments and filters. I apologize for not reading more posts about DMA before asking my repaint question. I should gain a lot of insight from the links that you provided.
Thanks again.

davesaint86 - my take away from your last filter:
I only post the long of the buy1 and RSI4 > RSI7 as the absence of a bar tells me it is "short".

ron,
no apology, please.
I'd be happy to be of more help to you in another setting.
I just want to prevent protracted discussions that are not within my purview,
Thank you for understanding.
