ASX day trading system!!!

  1. Hey guys,

    can ANYONE with Tradestation or something similar please test the following and post the results;

    Market: ASX200 index CFD (mirrors the actual movements)

    Entry: If the Dow closes above its open, go long ASX200 on open (for example if the Dow closes above its open on Tuesday U.S time, go long ASX200 Wednesday Australia time -> because Australia is ahead of the U.S in time, e.g. on Tuesday U.S time the Dow would close at 6.30AM on Wednesday Australia time)

    <opposite for shorts>

    Stop Loss: 8 pts

    Profit Exit: 4 pts

    Bet Size: Risk 1% of A/c

    <Exit position at end of day if exit or stop has not been hit>

    I'm sorry I don't have testing software, but I've noticed that the ASX200 closely mirrors the DOW's movements!

    Results would be great!
    THANKS a heap!

    Regards.

  2. Here's a correlation. Symbols, in case it doesn't post, are YAP and DJI.

    Be interested to hear what you learn. Might also want to test an 8 or so point target. The 4, which I have used for other reasons, seems like it's within the realm of noise, if that matters - I know little about trading systems.
