out of last trade at 1117.5 + 3.5 before commish this system trades as long as globex is open, so once i automate it, it will be a 24 hour system in which case i wouldn't have exited that last trade. anyhow, have a good night, i'll post a pic of the system tomorrow.
i wrote the indicator myself. it's less of an indicator and more of a pattern recognition. It just recognizes when the last x bars have been chop. Nothing fancy.
What happened, no trades today ? Hope you didn't blow out. Maybe you went on a spending spree with those euros.
didn't trade the system today. it's not really ready to be traded everyday until i integrate stops. also, i was using neoticker for the trade setups and I had a few problems when I ran it in realtime as opposed from backtest. I need to figure out why. For instance, i had a trade there was one trade that I didn't take because the signal didn't show up until I manually refreshed the chart. There were a few other little glitches. The reason why I traded it even though it wasn't totally ready was I wanted to see the mechanics of neotickers realtime signals, and slippage, etc. Also, it was just a good opportunity because I knew it would have a good day from recognizing patterns in the equity curve. As for today, I just looked at the system, and it lost about 2 points today. It spent the morning going down, and the afternoon going up. Tomorrow should have a very strong day for the system based on the equity pattern. I've attached a pic. So far, the system has only been backtested 50 or so days. Waiting on tick data to backtest further. the attached pic shows the equity curve in net nq points.
