I found this indicator and it appears as if it is using the 14EMA, 21EMA, and cross of the 17RSI to determine an entry. However, when I put these indicators on the chart I get a different entry visually than the arrow. For example, the arror seems to occur before the 14/21 cross in some instances. Could someone look at the code and determine what it is doing? Am I missing something?

Thanks
