I have created a simple Enhanced System Tester wir
Buy: cross(mov(C,9,s),mov(C,60,s))
Sell: cross(mov(C,60,s),mov(C,9,s))
When I run the system test and plot it on chart the buy and sell arrows are not at that positions where MovingAverage 9 and MovingAverage 60 crosses. Look at the attachment.
Why is that so?
Regards

Hi Pelumu
It's pretty obvious what the problem is with your chart, and the EST result is almost certainly correct in the example provided. Try scaling the 60-period SMA to the same scale as the price chart and the 9-period SMA and you'll find that the crossovers line up as expected.
The clue that tells the story on scaling is that the longer SMA peaks at the same level as the highest price and bottoms at the same level as the lowest price. If you think about it you'll realize that an SMA (and most other MAs) shouldn't do that.
