Why did you cover those 2 trades early?

How did the back testing go?

I've seen similar quotes and also measurement software that shows how much of the move you managed to capture. Some traders measure success as a % of the move. If they capture 20% of the move from the low to high point then that is successful for them.

I think that all indices track the change in value of an asset class and not value an asset class. For example, an equity index does not give you the value of the equities it represents.

You probably already have the answer if you've watched the videos but if not think of it as follows: This month's index is made up of 30 house sales. Each house was previously sold in increments of 1 year ago. i.e. 30 sales from 1 to 30 years ago. Now do you see how they do it?

There's no lag because the index uses houses that sold that month and compares those sales against their previous sales. It's actually a very well constructed index. You should watch the video presentations on the CME site and the Q&A with them.

Reminder: Fed Day tomorrow.

From studies that I've done (as a result of rumors that I've heard) I've confirmed that weeks with expiration Fridays are more bullish than other weeks. Will next week be bullish in the equity index futures? (I've set this poll to expire in 3 days.)

Remember rollover day tomorrow. Contract changes from U to Z.

When the NQ changed over from 0.50 to 0.25 I called the CME and asked them that question but they said no: NASDAQ tick size change precursor to ES?

Would that not make it disappear? i.e. it would be merged with the E-mini...

One of the reasons why opening a trade in the first 15 minutes of the day is beneficial is because the probability of the high or low being in the first 15 minutes is disproportionally large.

I can't believe that over 50% in the poll believe that the pit traded contract will last forever. Here's an update using a 6 month moving average: The disappearing S&P500 Futures Pit contact

How do you determine which pattern to use?

What would be the advantage to forward testing it rather than back testing it?

What's the difference between a Renko and a Range bar? eSignal have Renko.

There must be someone out there who has bought the system and has the rules so that we can back test this. It sounds like such a simple system that it wouldn't take long to back test.

If I understand you correctly then yes, I believe that I did.

Don't forget that it's Fed Day tomorrow!

I think that's him stock777 - apparently he knows more than Bruce
