What does "works" mean to you?
If you are making a market in the eminis by trading 5 contracts, you are probably trading the wrong month. :)
I don't know what it is with Esignal and rollover day - but they seems to have some issues every time. Sometimes they don't rollover their...
The answer is the same as it has always been - you rollover to the next contract at the open on the Thursday before the current one expires. Period.
Yes, the contracts always rollover the thursday before the week they expire as far as volume goes.
I hear ya. Maybe with 90+% of the people who mainly use "non-radical" methods fail, I figure it's best to stay away from anything that makes...
Sure, that is possible. Like I said, I have no idea what the edge is here - if there is any, and why it works - if it works. As someone else...
Isn't that a bit contradictory? Maybe when to trade is 9:33, 9:35, 9:38, etc... - no?

If I had a dog, and if the dog could trade in a way that gives me what I'm looking for, I'd be all for it. Why not? :D
I'm not saying entering at those times IS NOT putting the probability of a winner in my favor. It seems that it does, but I can't tell you why it...
Exactly. This type of system forces a exact discipline. It also had other benefits - if you know exactly when you are going to make a trade you...
You see, I don't really buy the "cut you losses short and let your profits run" thing. What does that really mean? Why isn't letting a .25 point...
This specific method - today is the first day with real money. I've looked off and on for a while at doing something like this. Have noticed...
I don't have any reason other than it seems to work. And the system seems to give me all the things I'm looking for in a system (in my first...
I understand that - not trying to argue with you - but you can't really make a statement like that because you might not be doing exactly the same...
No, the entries are not random at all - they are at those specific times only. The decision to enter long or enter short at those times is...
If you can't see the trades the backtesting system is making - how can you tell that it is following the system?
BTW - There is no slippage with this system. All orders are limit orders, period.
