    Do you have a model account, to track performance?

  2. I do indeed take every signal in my account, the issue is I also take discretionary trades in that same account, so the Algo results would not be accurate. I'll be posting daily signals here, so you will get a feel if it's a success in your eyes. On a side note, I have been toying with the idea of opening a second futures account JUST for the algo to build a clear track record.

    For simplicity, could assume the discretionary is white noise that averages to zero, so the account should roughly reflect the algo. Can't hurt to post results.

  5. I understand your point, but the discretionary does not average zero. I appreciate your input.

    Excellent that your discretionary trading makes money! Discretionary is a tough row to hoe.

  7. Thank you. I have been on "the journey" since 1989 being involved in the markets in several capacities and have loved every minute of it, even during the drawdowns.:)

    A bit surprised that on your December crude short, your stop is the same as your entry. Seems like a no-brainer that the trade won't work. Unless it is a timing thing?

  10. Thank you for pointing that out. The short entry was correct, but the stop was a typo on my part. The stop was actually 51.92.
