I am always looking for a better angle or a new indicator to use. For instance lately I found a way to improve piggyback buys using the spx cvi from decisionpoint. Also Trinq:cpce yielded a few.
Also, as I build in new code and/or signals, sometimes former code becomes obsolete (new code covers its signals and more). Another example, last week I found code for an additional short parameter I must have been working on a year or two ago and finished tying it in. This yielded 2 more shorts while leaving the rest as they were. Both these new shorts immediately preceded an original buy by a margin of several days.
There was also a major update when I implanted cpce data from Capt.J and then replaced all references to $cpc. In addition, after enough changes are made, trigger levels may need to be re-tuned. Cpce was a definite case.
But when all is said and done, you could take a version from 1-2-3 years ago and find the same original buys and shorts, because the main structure hasn't changed. The code that produces an original buy or short basically hasn't changed in years.
The main area of new action is piggyback signals and their attendant stage 2 and 3 signals. At this point I have them running during original buys, short and even rebuys. These are recent additions.
I read several boards and am amazed at resistance to programming improvement and change. Each of us trusts our lives each day to machines, medicines and more that are constantly being improved and changed.
