  1. This makes sense to me I wonder why everyone is complicating it so much. Also to let's say u have a 1 point on the downside and 2 points on the upside. I have been watching and sometimes the direction doesn't hit the 2 points exactly but sometimes comes super close. What you increase ur profit if let's say u where at 1.5 point to move up ur stop to your entry point?

    Great observation. Now quantify those ratios/adjustments you mentioned within specific instrument(s), at specific times. Get your hands on fairly accurate tick level backtesting/automation software. You can use MS excel for crude quant model prototyping. Simple is good.

  10. Haven't messed with Tradestation since 2000. It was shitty back then, if using to analyze granular data. Search this website for some options.
