Well, you asked a question. It did not seem to me that you got your answer. And it also seemed to me that in dialogueing with you I might learn something myself. I have not asked you anything that I thought might be proprietary. But I was asking step-by-step questions to learn what your process...

Thanks. I don't understand how you are getting backtested stops and profit targets that can occur anywhere inside a 30 minute bar if you are testing on 30 minute bars. As another poster wrote, the bar is "opaque."

Do you backtest on a 30 minute chart?

OK, but do stops and limits trigger on the half hour?

Roger that. I run a one second chart on ESignal find that ES ticks and the Interactive Brokers clock almost always match to the second. When they do, I trade off of the IB clock. Invaluable IMO to get a good handle on slippage to plug into your backtesting. Same deal on stop loss and profit...

OK. Are you punching the trade button at, say, 29:58 or 29:59 to get a 30:00 entry to measure slippage?

Thanks. Trade entry triggers at the end of the bar or at the beginning of the next bar? That is, would you enter at 10:29:59 or 10:30:00?

Hi. Wasn't ignoring you, was in a trade. Some people here DO trade, strangely enough. Kindly humor an old man and let me start over. Do I recall correctly that your screen is nothing but 30 minute price bars with indicators running at the same 30 minute clock (not in real time, that is, the...

Thanks. I'll hold off and just read until everybody blows off.

OK! OK! I wasn't specific. A minor crisis to me would be a major downturn in gold for whatever reason. A blowout top. A sea change at the Fed. A commodity panic. My thinking since I watch gold all day is that I want out the minute I want out, not two hours later. I totally agree with you about...

Feng, when you have exhausted yourself and everyone else with this free-for-all, please post that you are ready for a one-on-one and you and I will start over step-by-step. I have nothing to sell you. And I have no dogmatic positions to defend with wordy diatribes. This really is simple.

Chart gold in dollars. Chart gold in Euros. Those two charts today tell you little about gold because they don't agree. Right now the gold charts are telling you about the dollar relative to the Euro.

"The order type doesn't matter (limit/market)." HAHAHAHAHAHA! And to be precise, if you have multiple stops and multiple profit targets depending on conditions, then you have MULTIPLE systems, not A system. Related? Yes.

Murray, I hope you design systems better than you can read. Those were your questions, not his. His issue is that he thinks he has followed the classical system development rules, is following the system live, but is not getting the same results. So we are asking him those questions which will...

Using limit orders or market orders?

I cannot resist the urge to post something unutterably stupid. If we were talking about a commodity with purely USD pricing influence, like the asking price of whores lounging around on the street outside the CME, I would buy the use TA. But gold depends on the price of the dollar, the Euro...

Ha! OT? Couldn't be more than ten of us gold bugs on the whole board! But appropos of the OP, today's chart doen't look very H&Sish. Thanks, Wallace, for starting the discussion. Maybe we should take turns.

And interest rates in the US oy Veh have risen for maturities not targeted by the Fed.

Crosses are only to be borne.
