I'd be curious to see the trades your backtesting produced for today. Can you post them?
My point is that unless it is "supposed" to be a certain way, there would be no way to answer your question. :) As far as I know, there are...
How is it supposed to be?
I guess it depends on what you consider "good signals". The only good signals with this system occur on those specific times - period. Is that...
No, I wasn't trying to say that at all - I wasn't very clear. I'm saying exactly the same thing you are saying - I just didn't say it clearly....
Sure it does - it might be a positive edge or a negative edge, but it is certainly different from choosing a totally random entry point. Entering...
I don't know that I couldn't - but that isn't the point. If I find that 9:33 works, why would I want to try any other time? There is no need to...
Every trade, no matter your system, technically has a 50/50 chance of being a winner (if you don't include B/E). IMO, it's okay to have an...
Not sure how I came up with the +1/-1.25 - just seemed to work. Someone with a lower risk tolerance might go for only +.75. Basically, there is...
Hybrid - I haven't really thought much about that problem yet - I'm thinking maybe one more -1.25 stop and then quit until the next trade. Need...
Surf - The offsets from open are simply fibonacci numbers in sequence. Basically picked that out of thin air for no real reason. Other numbers...
Today's shortened session only left room for 10 trades. The results are: 12 Total Trades 10 Winners 2 Losers Avg. Winner +1.05 /...
I'll take a shot at posting a journal of a very simple system that I'm trading. (trading e-mini SP's - should work on NQ's also) Here are my...
Aphie - Stop taking the bait. Specifically the stuff pertaining to your success or lack thereof when you start trading. That sort of argument...
LOL. Didn't even notice that. Wierd.
Lol. I understand how tick charts are built - but not your comment about 250 ticks being in a bar thus no problem. When you see 10 bars built,...
How do you know you haven't had any problems? Do you have any other tick based charts to compare to?
Immediately bail. Even if you are up on the trade.
I realize it may not be that big of a deal. However - and this is my point - since most indicators that people use for signals use the close of...
Aphie - Why did you choose 250 ticks? Why not 200 or 265 or 248? Or 233 since since that is a fib number? What will happen if your data...
