I started with the idea that I would take the PDI-MDI crossoverof anoptimized number as my basic buy and sell trigger.However, this numberdid not have to be zero and did not have to bethe same for entering longand entering short.After a lot of trial an error I decide -1, -3, or -5 wouldbe my enterlong number and -5, -13, or -21 would be my enter short number.This makes sense since the market is biased to the up side, so enteringalittle under zero would get us in a little earlier.Also down moves tend tobe fast an extreme and this would only letus in short for larger, fasterdown moves which is what I wanted.Finally I wanted some way to reduce thenumber of false signals andI wanted to do that with directional movementindicatorsonly so this test would be completely uncorrelated with my othertests.

For long positions, I notice that most up moves started when adx waslow and that adx climbed during the move to a max andthen started to fall at the end of the move. Therefore, I thought anadx max and min for a buysignal would help reduce falsesignals. After some experimenting, I set themin at 8 and the max at21. I also noticed that most good buy points occurredwhen MDI and ADX were close together so I decided that the differencebetweenthe two should be small.After more experimenting, I decided on the followingfor my open longsignal:​

​

Tema PDI - MDI System
Open Long:
Alert(Cross(Fml("Tema PDI - MDI"),opt1),13) AND
MDI(13) - ADX(13) <= 4 AND
MDI(13) - ADX(13) >= -2 AND
ADX(13) >= 8 AND
ADX(13) <= 21
​

To close my open long position I wanted the PDI-MDI to be less than opt1.
When a stock starts to drop, the MDI starts to rise, so I wanted theMDI to be greater than a certain number to close a position.Finally, since markets are biased upwards, I also wanted the 55 dayvariable moving average to be dropping before I closed the position.Therefore, the close long became:​

​

Close Long:
Fml("Tema PDI - MDI") < opt1 AND
MDI(13) > 21 AND
LLV(Mov(L,55,VAR),5) = LLV(Mov(L,55,VAR),13)
​

​

To open a short position, I wanted the PDI-MDI to cross below afairlyhigh negative number.
I wanted confirmation in thatthe adx was still fairly high when that happened. The answer was:​

​

Open Short:
Alert(Cross(opt2,Fml("Tema PDI - MDI")),8) AND
ADX(13) > 34
​

To close the short position, I only wanted PDI-MDI to be greater thana certain positive number.
I don't like a lot of confirmations for closing shorts. With the biasbeing up, you need to close shorts fast.
My close Short and optimization became:​

​

Close Short:
Fml("Tema PDI - MDI") > 13
Optimization:
Opt1: Min = -1 Max = -5 Step = 2
Opt2: Min = -21 Max = -5 Step = 8​

That's it. Any comments or questions?
