curvefitting or not, who cares? people get so bent out of shape when it comes to that word the only problem with excluding thursdays is if thursday's become one of the main money-making days. the core strategy is profitable with or without thursdays, so if excluding thursdays gives it a...

I don't know what timeframe is in your charts but if you look closer on the ZLR you can see that the price candle does give you a move right after the reject. At the point of the trend-line break, the ZLR has moved quite a bit (i.e. it's already late into the 'trade'), and your reversal doesn't...

certain of the better trending currencies respond well to breakout strategies that buy/sell on highest highs or lowest lows of x bars.

I used DarthSidious original code, and modified to fit TS8. Might also be interesting to note that a basic stop-loss of say 3pts enhances the results and caps the risk (per trade)...trailing stop not as useful. True, since the system inherently brackets the price range, a stop loss is built...
