Bubo,
I think that is a great idea.
1. As to verifying weather or not the indicator is correct, I'll take a look at iya's code and determine how his is calculated, and let you know something definate on if the same calculations were used in mine (though I have a pretty good feeling it is). If it is any different, or some changes need to be made, I'll make the changes and post commented code that shows what I changed and why (if Iya doesn't mind me messing with his code a bit ). I'll also be posting data on my index, so we can all compare.
2. Backtesting is self explanitory...once you get the Sentinal indicator down solid (major props on getting it automated so fast by the way...I was having more than a hard time updating it by hand), then the backtesting should be easy to do, and the variables (such as the SMAs you are using, entry methods, etc) can be easily changed and tweaked until we come up with something better.
---snip--
As for my box drawing, I do it midnight the following Monday (not Tuesday). 8:30 am on Friday to 00:00 on Monday.
