    atticus: congratulations, great trade. swing trades and swing systems are generally more profitable than daytrading , imo.

    thanks.
    it's a large CL.
    no fundamental data, pure price and time data
    sorry, can't disclose the details of the strategy :)
    as you can see on the charts it's based on 30 min bars
    i often see that it's too long interval for a daytrading system. especially the rules for shorts could be based on shorter bars since ES and CL tend to have faster down moves.
