 Here is a little code I have been playing with for a while.  Buy when you have alpha_start signal
 and sell when you have alpha_end signal.  Seems to work best when Stochastics are over bought
 or nearly over bought.  No, this has not been back tested.  Tweak as you like.  Also seems works best
 when at a key MA level.

 If there is a 1 in Bad Idea and a 1 in Alpha Start I assume you do not buy still until the Bad Idea turns to 0.

 No, bad_idea means the train has left the station.  Buy on dips.  Alpha_start will flash only when
 bad_idea is activated.  Study TAI and see when and where it moves.  When bad_idea turns
 to 0 run is over.

 @SAFeTRADE,
 
 Did the idea for your interesting filter come from any of his books?
 
 Thanks,
 Ed S.

 It looks good, at the first glance, this filter.
 If anybody can backtest it?

 Thank you, SAFeTRADE
 Is this summary chart still pertinent?

 SAFeTRADE, you had another Groenke thread in 2015
 and jdinkel's version seemed pretty close to specs by Ron Groenke.
 But jdinkel's version seemed to be unfinished and abandoned.
 What seems to be missing and what would it take to finish it?
 Thank you, SAFeTRADE.

 SAFeTRADE,
 I also have some honest observations, as a complete Groenke noob.
 jdinkel's tai and other charts seemed to maintain some sort of trends.
 Yours seemed to look like bounded oscillators,
 Are trends not important with this strategy?
 Are you sacrificing trends in order to highlight buy and sell points?
 Thank you, SAFe.

 The only difference in mine and Groenke's is I changed 50 day numbers to 10 day.  Ron Groenke used TAI "take action indicator" as well..an indicator.  Shows you at a glance what to do.  Do not try to trade the TAI
 blindly.  Example; TAI signals to "take action" did it enter the zone from above -5 or from below-10.  It
 makes a difference.  Look at how TAI works on the chart.
 
 Have not looked at  jdinkel's  version.  May look at it later.  Thanks for your interest in Groenke filter.
