I was wondering if it would be possible to change a MA code so that it would be set on close, but for the current candle it would use OPEN value. In my eyes, this would help with lot of repainting issues when working with MA crosses in backtesting.
It would allow us to do the same thing in backtesting as any normal MA cross is doing in live = use CLOSE values but ring the signal on OPEN value of new candle ... and that is why the cross may be there and suddenly might disappear and reappear during the lifetime of the current candle.
What do you people think? anybody wants to give it a try?
