    kicking, In my testing of the system so far, I've assumed that entries are made at the close of the 1 min. bar. This then would set the level of MACD (and the EMA's) for that bar. Richard

    I use this screen for trading the emini Nasdaq Future

    The system is what it is. My interest in it is that, if I was to believe in Jeanmichel's post, it has been used with some success by a trader. I'm unclear on all his rules and I hope that my posts may encourage him to explain them further. Alternatively, for those who don't care for this...

    Jeanmichel, I've looked at your chart, but I'm not sure how you're arriving at the above numbers. It may help if you could tell us the equations for your stop-loss indicator. I see that you also have (thinner) green and yellow lines drawn with this indicator. What do they represent...

    I use this screen for trading the emini Nasdaq Future

    Jeanmichel, Thanks for the parameter info. It appears that you are just using MACD with added confirmation with the 3 EMA's. What is your stop loss criteria? Do you use the Parabolic SAR for this? Since you have this on METASTOCK, can you give us some backtested performance results...
