cj:pt:tc: well to keep it simple, i suggest that 1. in bull mode: no changes. 2. in bear mode- if rsi<28, override variation: a. in bear mode, if nasi > (- 250) no changes. b. in bear mode, if nasi < (- 250) wait for bull mode prior to long override. i think it may reduce some of the drawdowns. may also make it simpler by substituting nasi 0 value instead of -250. thx much st
