I'll be the first to admit the results so far have been pretty bad. Before starting this thread the results were outstanding, so hopefully it gets better. If not I will keep working and trying to improve it.

I've been making several improvements over the last week and will start using a new version in a few days. The new version uses the same "system" but has been greatly optimized to produce better results. The new version also contains a back test feature which back tests 200 days prior. The...

Someone else mentioned that site to me when I first started this thread. Bookmarked it but never took time to check it out. I am signing up there now though. I understand no system will be right all the time and believe strongly based on prior results, that the results here will improve. I...

You are right, backtesting the system would not be very hard. However, I don't put any weight in back testing because it is very easy to create a system that will do well on past data. Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms do this very well. But when it comes time to test it on future data the...

I am going by the published quotes for the S&P500 because that is what is actually predicted by my system. I just think the best way to trade it is with ES. You can see the price of ES at that time reflected in the paper trade. The Paper Trades will be a more reliable indicator of success.
