Very promising. Question - what takes precedence a crossover of the 6 and 10 or a 10% stop loss? If you let the stop-loss take precedence there wouldn't be as many whipsaw trades.

I took a look at your set up on SOXL with the 6 and 10 crossover method. it looks like to me it gives 11 buys and 11 sells and is currently on a sell.






I also took a look at an indicator that I always use which is Pring's KST. I use it mainly along with his Special K to identify significant tops and bottoms. It's slower than the 6/10 but it also has less crossovers. This would produce 6 buys and 6 sells. I think the 6/10 has greater net gains (in a rough, quick look) but also trades more (fees). Just a different look FWIW
