You should just fade yourself.

If you are short 1 contract in one account and long 1 contract in a different account your net position is 0, why would you bother setting up two accounts to do this? It doesn't make any sense. Just do it in one account.

I would also test the same rules on many different etfs, if you show vastly different results between products, scrap the system, if not you should consider trading it. Also dial up slippage and commisions and see if it can perform. Basically test the shit out of it, beat it up, see how it...

I think you should change your target to at least 2 points a day or at least 40 points a month. Goals can be restrictive too.

I have been doing my best to avoid this discussion, I have participated in another of surfers threads deriding trend following and see no sense in wasting my time defending it further. But this post was too good... Over half of trendfollowers returns come from t-bills? DUNN, who is in the...
