  1. Here are my futures biases for December 19.

    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.

    hi Art - i have done a draft backtest of your bias rules with ES - my data is limited, from mid 2002 to mid 2005

    with the base case of using +-1 as the threshold, i get a 56% win rate and a 1.4 profit factor

    raising the threshold to +-3 and greater, increases the win to 59% and profit factor to 1.5

    going to +-4 and greater, i get 65% and 2.0

    do these numbers seem reasonable to you? (i still need to double check and clean up my code).

    i am not too focused on profit factors at the moment, since you are presenting these rules as a directional bias - these win percentage rates look encouraging, i.e. seem to indicate that your bias rules have a positive expectation.

    also, rule 1. The 2-day average is less than the 5-day average. - is this average of (H+L)/2 ? or something else?

    thanks for sharing your work and all the best.
