2) I didn't say it was a bad thing ... just one of a choice of things. I use time based bars because I have found that the bar break is meaningful to a lot of other traders ... so watching it and responding to it is a key part of my trading. I also use a much faster tick chart (vol just isn't so...

you say HKFE offers minute data
but it is not cheap and I do not need tick data
I only need some minute data
of coz ,in return I will share some useful tools with you
Eric
thank you for your method
but maybe the method is not senstive
look at the trade number
from 350 -500,the equity curve becomes a horizon line
with your method the system should be deactived
but now the system begins to make money
thank you Eric
another question
in your formula
x = abs(Avg-Profit)*(Number of Trades)^0.5 / (Std Dev of Profits)
my question is what is the best number of trades for an intraday
trading system whose frequency is about 100 trades in one month
I have read the thread by Eric and Acary
Eric's method is easy to use
Acary's method ,I don't know what is the z score he means
I can not find a table of z score or calculate formula
Your results also have the characteristics of a strategy that has been over optimized. of course it is hard to tell by just looking at an equity curve.
it is another system
I have done the Monte Carlo test
here is snap shot of the result

Eric, the equity curve varys when I input the same data
but when w/l is greater than 2 and w prob >0.4
the equity changes little
why
after it experenced nearly 400 points drawdown
it begin to bouce up
now the draw down is about 200 points
sometimes I find it is hard to stick to my trading system
thank you for your post
In my experience
I have devised several intraday trading system
most of them are trend following ,the other are counter trend
the trend following performs better
I do not like the idea of money management
beocz I think money management will increase...
maybe it is not a proper place to start the thread
but now I turn to multicharts
so I can not log in the tradestation forum
I hope someone using tradestation could help me
thank you
