thanks maximo,

I see what you are saying, LOL, knew it was too good to be true.

Ow yeah, I don't need it to produce a signal because I can do it by getting the bull scan to look back X of days and then it produces results.

thank you for the reply. Embarrassed

Hi Tanaka,
 
This is a devious indicator.  It waits for 6 future bars at which point it then draws the indicator.
This makes it look incredibly good on past results, but it cannot make a current signal due to this waiting for 6 future bars.  ie. it's this part-> Ref(C,6)
 
The gap of 6 most recent bars when plotting the indicator makes this evident.   Some might say this is clever, but others would call it hindsight. 
 
If you were to make a signal from this, it would be 6 days old.   Do you want to trade signals that are from 6 days ago?

Howdy all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me make a signal from this indicator:

If(ma(C-Ref(C,-5),10,E)>(ma((Ref(C,-1)-Ref(C,6)),10,E)),1,-1) 

It would be handy for it to display above/below zero.

Cheers,

Tanaka
