Buy SDS when the 10 EMA falls below -835. Sell it when it falls below -1190. Apollo

This looks interesting. Misses the 55 to 110 move, but maybe with a tweak. Question though. Stockcharts gives me your -186 for today. But 10ema is 570. How do you get 861? Something to do with the "low" in the EMA spec? [Edit:] Yes, apparently so. What does the "low" mean in the formulation of the EMAs here? TIA

In the parameters box behind "Exp Mov. Avg" put "10,l". l = low. You can also use an h for high.

[/quote] Yeah, eventually it occurred to me that you can choose between OHLC this way. BUT ... isn't the closing TICK always just one number? Like mutual funds where OHLC are all the same? BUT THEN ... it should be that ema 10 = ema 10,L (or O, H) ... but they aren't. Hmmm. Still puzzled. Nevertheless, nice find indeed.
