Hi,
I am not trying to criticize you, I just want to ask you why your breakout system didn't get entry signal when or after your reversal system was stopped out ? It seemed to be a good day for a breakout system .

Breakout - long from 1107.75 initial stop at 1103.25

 

I don't know the exact rules of the system. From my experience Breakout only takes trades in the first 30 min. of the day. Yesterday's move didn't get going until after the first 30 min., so Breakout missed out.

 

I'm planning on stopping this journal tomorrow after the close. My husband doesn't want me to post anything about how I rebalance. I think it's pretty pointless to just post trades from 3 black boxes. Posting didn't help much with the boredom factor anyway. I'll post one final summary tomorrow.

 

Good show. Thanks for posting.
