i'm reviving this so interesting topic, that started with a math professor (CB) who thought he could impress us in trading, but that was somehow a kind of con artist just trying to get funds....
but my question is simple :
the main problem with MAs (of any kind) is the last bar. The last bar always "flickers", right ? (inside the same candle, it can be a bullish signal then later a bearish signal); so we cannot rely on the last value only to trade a MA.
But if we can use bigger periods, then the accuracy of ONE bar is less important. so we can use a shifted signal of the MA by one bar
Why SSA fails is because the period is small, but the accuracy is there.
so my question is : would it be possible to filter SSA but with bigger periods? I tried every setting possible, but i could not do that accurately.
the best setting i've found is this one (it spaces the arrows more than default).
let me know what you think and if there is a solution to this problem
thank you
Jeff
