Spikes trigger early entries and stops on a mechanical system. I would be very happy to discuss ideas that help me avoid those nasty spikes. Regards
Avoid? I look for 'em! But then I'm not trading a mechanical system. Which stocks are you talking about?
This is one of the the reason why human being is still required in trading. My own experience is if there is a spike that triggers the entry, you may sometimes need to cancel the entey. It depends on the amplititude of the spike, of course.
Our alerts specifically avoid the spikes you are talking about. You may want to take a look at our alerts at www.trade-ideas.com Here is a link to the math behind the scenes. http://www.trade-ideas.com/DOSA/
