This idea of Elder's about the average of a price representing the true value of it begs some questions, although I thank you, Don, for expressing it.
A statistical population should not be less than 100, if I remember correctly, and the more the merrier, but you are using 5 bar averages. A price being overbought or oversold and staying at the high or low level for two or three bars would result in the average going to meet it, rather than the reverse, don't you think? Chartists are inclined to use short term averages beacause they have little choice, but that is not to say that they are all that reliable.
Nevertheless, your absence on the trading scene for such a long time, apart from your PC Plod activities, must mean that you have been doing some heavy work on your trading system and thought all that out.
Good trading and keep up the good work
