@parisboy -- I have a question / comment about the backshifting that I hope you can address. I'm about to make a controversial statement: There is no reason for CMA 16 to be backshifted by 8. The backshifting should go like this: CMA 16: Backshift = 0 CMA 32: Backshift = -8 (-32/2 + 8) CMA 64: Backshift = -24 (-64/2 + 8) CMA 128 Backshift = -56 (-128/2 + 8) CMA 256 Backshift = -120 (-256/2 + 8) That initial backshift of 8 introduces a lag of 8 that serves no purpose.

He clicks on the MA crossover before the high/low swing price, then the high/low swing price and then the crossover after the high/low swing price. This returns a yellow dot which gives an estimated time range. I think this just takes the absolute value of the two most recent MA cross bars - the swing high / low bar and adds them to the last MA cross to create a time range on the x axis.
