Thanks for the update. I continue to check this thread every day with interest. Other than this current open trade at about -$4k, the model looks pretty good. Running it without any stops might be dangerous though, as thie current trade ilustrates. Keep up the good work!
Apologies, I forgot to record yesterday's signal. Thanks Kevin. My models do not do well in market conditions like we have had recently because they are mostly 'counter trend' models. I need to develop a set of trend following models to complement the counter trend models.

James, If the trade lost $50 on 7/17, shouldn't the accumulated losses go UP, to ($1,048), instead of down?
