This filter seems to be working correctly. However I'm trying to backtest it and the backtest is not triggering the sells correctly. Here is my sell trigger (EMA(5) crossed below weekly EMA(12) 2 days ago). My backtest parameters are show below the filter. In my opinion the backtest should show DBA purhcased around 8/27/07 and then sold around 4/28/08 and then purchased again around 6/9/08. Also, USO and OIH should show my in the backtest results. I could use some help troubleshooting the backtest parmeters or filter. I think the problem lies in the backtest parameters.
