  1. The half bracket is not a choice. I do not have any brackets left to reverse off of in the equation. Perhaps adding a H5 and L5 level to the equation is needed.

    I tried to upload the file but you can't upload a .html file. I wouldn't mind If Michael puts the data in another format and posts it. Time for me to go to bed.


    Why so depressed Michael?

  8. Depressed:
    • I wanted at least a 50% winrate
    • I wanted half of the amount of consecutive losses
    • I want to be able to work during the day with an occasional trade maybe 1 or 2 per day. I don't mind holding and trading overnight. (my wife can't beat be up anymore than she has!)

    P.S. I am more excited abot Postion Size Management than I am about the equation.

    Look at it this way. The system is Net Profitable without any adjustments. I am going to come up with a version of this system that only trades during the daytime. I am currently running a test that uses a trailing stop ( size = 1.5 times the distance between H4 and H3 or L3 and L4.) I have to work tommorow so I'll spend some time fiddling with this system on Sunday. If you have any ideas you want me to test, let me know. I'll see what I can do.

  10. Thank you Fan27,

    The completed backtest was "always in" never flat. Thank you.

    I would be curious to see:
    • Always in flat on Fridays
    • Your ideas
    • Only trading 1/2 brackets on all trades H4 and L4, always in never flat. Then the same and with flat on Fridays
    • A hybrid of trading the normal equation as done now and H4 and L4 levels only after narrow range days, always in never flat. Then the same and with flat on Fridays
    • And a coke, fries and I'm eating in the car.:)
    Fan27, I appreciate your positive thoughts. I am feeling better already, Do you think you can do it? I am at your disposal. If you want I can send you $25.00 for each backtest I request (I realize this is not much, but its better than nothing)?

    Michael B.
