To elaborate a bit, when using this information on trendlines (i.e., use of trough and peak) -- http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter/04- 2000.html ...
... is this safe to use in a system, as long as the system is not backtested using trough and peak within this trendline break code? Or should I abstain from using trough and peak in this system altogether? Or , is it safe to use trough and peak in this bit of code, since it will not affect the backtested performance of this particular system?
