Zentrader is right. It can be a difficult market to trade at times. If you scalp it can be OK but it doesn't trend as well as the US or European market. It opens 10 minutes before the cash market, and tends to be incredibly volatile for the first 10 minutes. Using a 30 minute breakout...

Can someone please tell me with the present margin requirements for the DAX and the Eurostoxx 50 contracts. Is their a different margin requirement for daytrading and holding overnight? Runningbear

This is a good discussion topic. You don't have to be smart to be successful at anything. I often read in the paper about pretty dumb people who come up with very clever scams that make them money. I don't think they are smart, just cunning. Their situation necessitates cunning. Like...

a close at end of day system with llv * .995 instead of 1.005 Also experimenting with a fixed stop on entry may reduce maximum drawdown. Thanks, Runningbear

wdbaker, Can you run a few backtests on the system using much shorter bars? Like 5, 10 and 15 minutes. Also you might want to try it with a filter through the lunchtime period. 11.30 - 1.30 Thanks, Runningbear

I like your blue one better, it appears to predict the future:D :D

A similar trading system is to go long on a bar higher than the last two. Exit on a new bar low Re-enter long on a new bar high. Opposite for short trades. Better for shorter time frames like 5 - 10 minutes. Trade open and close only Runningbear
