if i'm not mistaken Razor, 400v on nq is a pretty fast chart. have you looked at maybe a lil slower 1, like a 1200, 1600, or even higher? just a thought.. maybe you already do that. bb

you could learn on the fly if you had a platform with auto-trading capability. but the suggestion on programming is a good one. btw, what is a "black-box" .. "gray-box" ??

may i ask you chloride, why you prefer this exit? i assume you are referring to the timed exit within an ATS.. thank you, bb

thanks again for the work here Anek! just a great thread for n00bs like me. also, ST, thanks for your examples. yes, i see the similarity to your technique and Anek's. very helpful. :)

anyone consider that a valid H&S pattern on ES now? thanks :)

yes.. it would seem logical. i agree. another concept that at least makes sense to me.. test w/ a hard stop + hard profit target. hypothetical- 200$ stop 400$ target if it then hits 70% winners over 800 trades.. well, i'd be encouraged. the example might be extreme, but you see the...

i was reviewing the thread and was trying to determine the rationale behind testing the entry(edge) w/ timed exits. it's an interesting concept to verify the signal. maybe i'll try it. is there any reason to trust this result, or is it more of a logical conclusion we thought up? :confused:

the data problem.. yes, you got me there i guess. i considered purchasing data a while back but didn't. i was concerned that i might develop a system on the purchased data that wouldn't perform the same w/ IB's. so.. i have just worked with data i've captured from IB. i can create volume...

frosty, i would be hesitant to use 1 minute bars. why not try volume bars or tick? the benefit would be having continuous charts. you could w/ 1 minute bars, but after hours would be unrealistic. (i know you prefer not to hold overnight). but think.. your developing a trend following system i...

ima lurker .. so, there's the grain of salt. :) for those that were thinking long at support, when price bust thru support, don't you immediately think short now? or is that too simplistic? also, i enjoy following this thread.. many excellent opinions. so thanks to all. i will miss...

following along.. thanks for the great thread! :)

:) i've had similar experiences. actually, have learned from silly mistakes like that. but to answer the question, i wouldn't trust it unless i could explain the rationale behind it. maybe a long standing bull market for example? bb

i qualify to post in this thread so no flames plz :p now.. have we established that trend is identified by longer term MA? if so.. we basically look for directional entries based upon the relationship of price vs long MA? ok.. carry on. and thanks Steve

anyone looking at that H&S? at the neckline was curious

does that mean stop is 7pts as well? stupid question.. sorry

my deal is.. exits are there to capture profits from all those nice entries my system produces. hence..their importance cannot be understated. i'm always looking for, or developing a new exit :) trailing stops hard profit & stop loss typically, i surround my entries with all of em...

i could send you what i have.. it might fill some gaps for you. only goes back to december 06 globalserver format symbol is set as stock

ok thanks, i've seen whats his name at esignal setup the same. i betcha it would cure a pivot code problem, but i don't know that. i may try it.

the little 2 minute break you put in(24hr futures).. it's not required i don't think. is it to calculate pivots correctly? or..??

yes.. the method for data setup is via globalserver. i would suspect you didn't set up properly there. or..the chart you plotted is not the same symbol you set the RTH's on. once this is corrected..the strats will test only this data. *dang, spike's fast :cool:
