    The ATS has Reversed to Short after a nice gain.

    You can see the system remains in the market, travelling from reversal decision to reversal decision.

    The ATS just Flattened at EOD.

    Today's forward test results:

    Gross P&L: +22.5 points

    Profit/ATR ratio: 0.6

    Trades: 4

    Wins: 3

    Chart legend:

    Green line = Long trade

    Purple line = Short trade

    And upward sloping green line is a win.

    An upward sloping purple line is a loss.

    And so on.

  7. Scott,

    I have completed my first working model of my ATS. I'm using a modified version of the Cash Cow logic. It's still a work in progress, but here is today's results. It didn't do too bad!

  8. Made some additional changes to the logic. It still needs work, but today it did 5 trades for 20+ points.

  9. The "Cow" did reasonably well today except for bar #61 when it got butchered (hamburger meat!). There was a little whipsaw towards the end of the day, but it ended with a total of 13 trades and 10.75 points. Still need to add some additional logic sequences. :p
