Maybe I am missing something here, but there seems to be an obvious mistake. From what I gather you have your entrance at open +x... then stop at open. And you expect it to have the same % accuracy as what you figured when performing the intial calculations.. however that is impossible...

This should be renamed the pathetic journal ;)..... Just got hit again, went long at 8179, got out at 8144.... we had good momentum, saw a little pullback.. went long with my stop around the area it broke out trying to go positive a few minutes before... i held out on executing my stop for an...

Another trade for not much more than a scratch... got in at 8151.. road it down close to my stop,but as I expected there was good support in that area, so it flew back up and made its second attempt at going green.. I went into the money for close to 100.... then it looked like it may have been...

WOW, I am deffinetly trading scared right now... didn't hold that one but for 15 or 20 seconds... I have got to get this finicky trading under control.. bought at 8110 sold at 8122 for a +$55

Miragers, thanks for the support.. Just made another trade to try and get back on the wagon. This trade went pretty well... I saw my support point, made the trade.. Road it up from 8078 to 8099 for a gain of around $100. The one problem i had with this trade is towards the end of it I got...

Well those of you waiting for the blow up, one of the mini blow ups arrived. Bought at: 8243 sold at 8148... Wiped out all the gains I have had the past 3 days like usual. I did everything wrong on this trade... Took the trade right before something I had to do so I coudln't watch it...

Second trade, bought 8253 sold 8255. This was almost a bad trade, it came VERY close to hitting my stop... Then when it got back to around my original entry price, I felt the reason I had for getting in was no longer there so I got out for basically a scratch. Might turn out to be one of...

First trade booked today: Bought at 8258 sold at 8278 for +$96 after comissions i felt pretty good on this trade. I almost jumped in at the wrong time due to my "need to make something happen" urge, but I held out. Then I almost was too finicky, but I remembered what I wrote yesterday and...

Normally I only trade automated strategies. However, occasionally I get a wild hair and decide to do some discretionary trading. These times are very productive considering I normally get my auto trading ideas from these adventures. However, they almost always end up badly. I will have...

Not New Orleans, but Baton Rouge here. There seems to be more traders in Louisiana than I would have thought.

Wayne, Perhaps I misunderstood the license. But according to your last few posts with the addition of the ability to fork if it goes closed source, it seems to do what is needed to remove the fears I had. So I am satisfied at this point. I appreciate your ability to compromise on this...

Wayne, That could work... however the one instance it does not address is if you begin to take the project in a fundamentally different direction than a group of people may want... for instance you may decide that you do not want feature XYZ in there, and lets assume its a feature that is...

Hopefully my post didn't come off as me being against you commercializing this. You obviously put a lot of work into it, and there is no reason you should be excluded from making some money from this. That was not the point of my post. The point was, we need to be able to create derivative...

I have been developing automated trading systems for several years now. All have been custom platforms due to the shortcomings of the commercially available solutions you mentioned. However, I recently began using NinjaTrader more to allow me to focus on my strategies as it seems even years...

15 min results look a lot worse: profit; -$12,662 trades: 390 PF: .72 I am using all ES data when forming the bars which are used for calculating the indicators... I am going to try again now with restricting the bars used to between 8:30 and 3:00 central. 5 Min Results; Profit...

Are you sure its suppose to be the SMA of the MACD? Looking at ScottD's code I see: absvalue( MACDVal ) < 1.4 And up above MACDVal is: MACDVal = MACD( Close, 5, 13 ) ; So are you sure I have it wrong?

The results include commission as well as 1 tick slippage: Profit: -$1,482 Trades: 289 Win%: 44.29 PF: .97 Granted, my conversion may be off, but just let me know where the conversion falls short and I can rerun. EDIT: The backtest stoped at 10/21/2008, but in aug and sept of this...

I decided to convert this over to NinjaTrader. And I tested on 5 min ES data from 7/2003 to 10/21/2008. Here is the code I used. I tried to stick as closely as possible to ScottD's implementation CashCow automated trading system Architect: Jack Hershey Version 0.3 12 Dec 2008 The only...

Actually you must be using a different version, because I see differences all over

Which version of code from ScottD did you convert? The latest one i see is: CashCow automated trading system Architect: Jack Hershey Version 0.3 12 Dec 2008 From dec 12. Are you using a newer one? If not I see a difference in your conversion, granted I do not know WL specifically, but I...
