FastWays incorporates  both two dimensional and three dimensional analysis, each with certain advantages.  The biggest advantage of 3-D analysis is that it shows the joint effects of multiple parameters quite effectively. 

The reduced size makes it difficult to read the screens on some monitors, but we wanted to talk about them while you viewed them.

The annualized returns are shown as the surface and on the floor. The range of returns is from 26.64% to 18.64% with each color representing a change of 1% as set in the sensitivity box. For consistency in color coordination,  the parameters that yield the highest returns are shown in red in the data grid as they are in the chart, and the lowest returns within the data grid are highlighted in blue. The performance measures box shows all measures for the parameter combination highlighted in red. To display some other combination, double click on a point in the chart or data grid. 

The limitations options are turned off for this chart. Finally, note that a different pair of funds were traded from those that were used to generate the signals.
