Here are my futures biases for December 5. A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long (L) bias. A negative sum will be a short (S) bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral (0) bias.

As an ex software guy I do think mechanical systems can and do work but I would not say it is a prerequisite of success as empirical evidence to the contrary of many many famous and successful discretionary ones.
m millar wrote Art, Thanks for sharing this. It's great to see a thread on Elite remain civilised. I haven't looked in detail yet but I just have some initial questions... What kind of stops are you using on your performance reports? Is this just buy at open/sell at close? Also, in the peformance report above (from the last post on this page) , the profit per trade is only $40, which is less than 1 tick on the full-sized Naz (which for a system trader makes it untradeable). Are you just using this as a guide to say "I'm in the right direction" rather than as a 'system'? Thanks [/quote] hey m-- all i've been showing to date are percentage plays--basic building blocks that have not yet been combined into definitive systems. i'm hoping that if someone is planning on being, say, short the yen, while the bias might not abort their diecision or methodology, it will serve as another tool for decision making. it can't hurt to know that bonds on a given day have a +5 rating, and that each component within that figure stands on its own historically--it tends to make more money than it loses, and combined, the results are even better. hope i've stated this clearly. (i'm buried under a lot of work right now, trying to meet a tight deadline on my next book)

Art, I have followed the thread since the start and just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do it. Good luck and good trading. Bsulli
