Fred, I'm pretty sure I typed "just about any", we actually agree. --jeff

nkhoi, conventional wisdom has taken more money than I care to count, lol. I guess that was my lame attempt to tell Flashboy just about any entry method can be made profitable with proper money management. I trade many systems and most have Win/Loss exceeding 80%. That MA Xover was the...

lilduckling, I migrated from equities to ES/ER2. I feel that I wasted quite a bit of time on the equities. I also feel that whatever you decide to trade has it's own personality. As such, it was a great relief to focus all energy on beating just these. Once the decision was made to...

Hi James and thanks for responding and sharing the concept. I sure would like to know how you got those extra signals in that timeframe. My Bands were set at 10 and std dev of 1.5 calculated using the Low as per the article. The only time the close was less than the lower BB was on...

I coded the EFS and attached if anyone interested. Tested and verified the data from 05/25/99. My results were 94.44 percent profitable. I did change one parameter and that was to enter at the close and not next day's opening. Forgot the numbers but it increased the return. Also tried...
