Is anyone trading this live?

Solved this problem. Turns out that one datasource uses the time of the opening of the bar and the other uses the time of the closing of the bar. I'm still surprised at how this "slight" difference makes such a big difference in a system based on candlestick patterns. 22 trades with the...

That's interesting! So what were the conclusions from that?

I did another comparison with 1 minute data. Things seem to vary a lot minute by minute but even out at the even of the day. For instance, vendor 1 showed a big volume spike at 10:51 that the 2nd vendor reported at 10:52. Because the entry is based on candlestick patterns, this will make...

With my original data, I optimized only on the middle 1/3 of the data. It shouldn't be fitted. mmillar: Do you ever run the same backtest using different data sources? If so, do they come out close? Brooks

I have a 5 min system on the Dow mini that I backtested using data from myTrack/Trackdata and got good results. I didn't have enough data so I obtained more data from another source. To check the data, I ran the system for the same date range. The difference was huge. One test had 22...

Thanks, Mogul. I posted there asking if the system is available in Amibroker AFL code. Tough to try to find the email address for Tim Wreford who wrote the system. Brooks

New to this thread ... Is it available in Amibroker's AFL code? Thanks, Brooks

Would appreciate suggestions/directions to systems that generate small but steady profit on the Dow-emini (YM). Not expecting to get rich in a hurry. Even 5 point profits on most trades is fine. Been trying to build one of these - but not having much luck. Thanks!

What are some reasonably priced sources for 1 minute bars on the Dow e-mini - maybe about 6 months worth? Thanks!

What is Rawk? Never heard of that indicator.

You are right, I made a mistake. Its $55/trade or 11 tics on the YM. Brooks

2nd system (how do you do 2 attachments in 1 message?)

Am new to trading a mechanical system. Would appreciate opinions on these 2 YM systems. Thanks.

I think there may be a typo in that link ...

Would appreciate comments on trader's experience using fixed point vs. trailing targets ... Thanks!

Not sure what you mean ...

I'm sure we all needed to know that.

I have 3 years of experience trading options and am moving to intraday futures trading. I developed a system trading the YM (Dow emini) on 5 minute bars and backtested it in Amibroker. Its basically a reversal system. I optimized on 1/3 of the data and then tested on the other 2/3. My...
