It may be premature to write code. I've seen it in my own indicators, you've seen it in yours, RR isn't arguing that we're hallucinating. Maybe a better way to approach this is to identify some (several?) existing indicators that illustrate the problem.
You mention Stochs, and I know you've done some work with CCI recently. Same issues there? What about well-known and accessible EAs like BBExpert, or any of the many RR has posted? In my case, I've recently been testing a couple breakout EAs that show only the very slightest long bias. But as breakout strategies, they don't use indicators per se, just mechanical estimates of recent highs and lows.
So I think this leads me to a couple questions, and then onward to an angle of attack:
- Do some indicators show short bias where others don't?
- Do some pairs have short bias where others don't?
- Do some timeframes show short bias more than others?
- Do we get long bias if we switch to Ask-based charts?
Any other good questions we should investigate? With some bracketing of the variables we need to explore, I'm happy to do some legwork to find out where the bias might live.
