sorry for the slow reply, welcome aboard. Doesn't sound like you need directions. Sounds like you could give them. My as yet unanswered question is regarding the performance of this signal on the smaller timeframes like 5m and 1m.

I have backtests showing phenomenal performance for 6.5 years right up until about Oct. 2006 then it turns and loses as phenomenally as it was winning before. I don't understand why. I have no explanation besides some sort of data issue?

secondly I need help with filtering suggestions on ANY timeframe to make a version which actually makes more than it loses in forward tests.
