Formula Parameters:
TEMA.efs:
Periods: 10
Price Source: Close [Close, HL/2, HLC/3, OHLC/4]
ZeroLag_TEMA.efs:
Periods: 10
Price Source: Close [Close, HL/2, HLC/3, OHLC/4]
HA_ZeroLag_TEMA.efs:
Periods: 10
ZeroLag_HA_Tema_Cross.efs:
Periods: 55
Zero Lag TEMA Price Source: HLC/3 [Close, HL/2, HLC/3, OHLC/4]
Long Only: false Notes:
The Zero Lag EMA study mentioned in the article can be found in the Feb. 2008 EFS KnowledgeBase article published here. The original Heiken-Ashi study mentioned in the article can be found in the Feb 2004 EFS KnowledgeBase article here. Also, the ZeroLag_HA_Tema_Cross.efs contains a formula parameter (Long Only) to force the strategy to allow only long trades, which is also configured for back testing with the Strategy Analyzer.
