Not sure. But it's good!

For those who have been here awhile you may know that I came up with the Bear Catcher moniker for all three:

1. SMA Slope Change
2. Nasdaq NH-NL
3. Dying Bullish Euphoria

When I presented these on the Motley Fool Mechanical Investing board, I had first done a thorough analysis that optimized them based on the full history. In other words, I arrived at settings that may have not been the original author's intent - as in the case of DBE created by Mungofitch. Ultimately, for the sake of my software, and what I presented to the board at the time I used the Nasdaq Composite as the underlying index and found the 110 day to be optimal.

So it looks like this:

zeelotes.org - Bear Catchers Zee IXIC

In my software the three look like this for 2026.

zeelotes.org - Bear Catchers Zee

Of course, you may not agree with these settings and prefer others. You do you! Or in Elan's parlance, you smoke what suits you!
