So in effect what loooks like a nice downtrend in Red actually turns blue and red a number of times during its travel, but because of the repaint it ends up looking Red.

This means that it loses no matter what the timeframe although it does a little better on longer timeframes
then don't use colors, - colors 4 human eye (perception) only anyway
robot don't need colors - tell him "if buffer_hma[i]>buffer_hma[i+1]" than it's up (or green or whatever) - that's it
