Thanks all - particularly VSTscalper and aeliodon for the other thread. Good stuff...
I've been trading for years and still have this burning question in the back of my head. In general, is it better to trade all day long until the...
Nice job apex! That's a beauty of a curve. Looks like you average 25 trades per day and $333 profit per trade. Care to shed any light on what...
Sorry - I forgot some people have REAL jobs. :confused: :D
Frost, since you discovered bot wasn't trading early this morning, couldn't you have corrected the code and activated mid-morning? Or even still,...
An old thread I came across is a great read. When to activate/deactivate a system. If you need to deactivate at some point Frost, make it an...
I just started some trading today with these charts and if you see page 1 of post I've only looked at past 16 days backtesting all signals. Would...
Thanks JJ. I'm still playing around with this but really like it so far. I'm not using trailing stops yet but will look into this. I'm finding...
Yes I used $6 per trade commission. But I don't use 1 tick slippage per trade - far too high. I base slippage estimate on where the next bar...
Attached is today's chart so far today. A very nice profitable move today for 7 pts. But I got out early for just 4.5 I think this strategy...
Good one Nazz - sometimes I feel like I'm parachuting without a parachute! :eek: Point Break is also sometimes called 3 Line Break - google...
Frost, You already know this but just to remind you it is pointless to compare P$L each day for each of your systems. You'll drive yourself...
No feedback yet huh? Perhaps the attached will peak your interest. I've only backtested 15 days but it looks nice to me. I did realize the...
I've been experimenting with Point Break charts and wondered who else is using them? And how do you use them? They seem to provide some great...
If $44 is about right for your system per contract I guess I'm not far off. My average is $38 per trade (1 contract). Your P&L overall is much...
Frost, I just caught up with your thread and find it interesting in that I too have been trading a counter-trend ER2 system that makes no...
Apologies if this is covered in pages 1-156 somewhere but I'd like to solicit some opinions on what filters people are using with this method....
Thanks but you're missing something or I don't understand what your saying - I've been trading it since 2/27/06. The period from 12/11/03 until...
Thanks stacked! I wish I had the time/wisdom to help you out more. (even though you said you were joking)... I do all my backtesting in...
Actually biggest drawdown to date is $2400 per contract. I hear ya though - I just wish my other trading hadn't sucked up most of my $7k gain....
