  1. This is my code:

    Variables:
    SessionMark(0),
    InitMark(0),
    TickValue(MinMove / PriceScale);

    SessionMark = IFF(Time = CalcTime(SessionStartTime(0,1), BarInterval), 1, 0);
    If InitMark = 0 and SessionMark = 1 Then
    InitMark = 1;

    If InitMark = 1 Then
    Begin
    If MarketPosition < 1 Then
    Buy ("LE_Stop") Next Bar at H + TickValue Stop;
    If MarketPosition > -1 Then
    SellShort ("SE_Stop") Next Bar at L - TickValue Stop;

    SetExitOnClose;
    End;

  2. Testbench: @ES 30m bars, 2 years history
    Slippage: $0.00
    Commisssion $2.50 / contract / side

    Performance report is attached. If anyone can tell my implementation is not as Jack had intended, please let me know and I'll make adjustments.

    I'd be interested to see the details of the remaining 3 methods.

  3. If you preview your post, you have to reattach any attachments. I suspect that's what happened here...

    all you have to do is reverse the Buy and Sell order.

  6. Hi RoughTrader,

    I unzipped and uploaded the graph here directly.

    Well that one is not too promising.

  7. Tums maybe you should think a little more before hastily posting replies of this type.

    The drill Index Maximus posted has an improved version called "IF 1 IF 2 APA". You can find it on this thread:

    Sexy Idea....

    This is a chart example:

    Ignoring slippage and commissions this is a "zero risk" method. Adding channels to give you the context, and volume for the pace, brings you very close to SCT.
