  3. I hope you realize I dont have OHLC values on my excel, and that I simply record the entry and exit prices based on what I have visualized on my actual chart..

    Ok. Once I see sample rules similar to your actual rules, I'll be able to determine whether I can represent those rules using only OHLC data. I would need rules, not your entry and exit logs. :)

    Ok. Forget about spreadsheets for a minute. I'm just asking for you to post your rules. Vary them a bit if you want to keep them secret. They don't have to be in a spreadsheet. If you can articulate your rules in plain English, I can possibly port them into a spreadsheet myself. :)
