Will I normally buy into a trend or into a range breakout or act on a continued sideways 'trend'. A trend to suddenly change is unlikely most of the time. Therefore I like trends. This should work on all timeframes and provide a small edge vs. randomly selected entries. The other thing is...

Will I have no automated system. I am using spreadsheets to do wave analysis. Today I 've made good and bad trades in the sideway market. Then I decided to bet on a breakout (up or down). The breakout was to the downside and the postion developed well. Finally with all trades...

02/06/07 +9.3% (Max risk was not more than 25% of my account to achieve that result). I stopped trading after reaching this level. There have been two hours to go (but I decided to stop for today). My goal is 2% a day and I more than reached it today.

I am switching to Signals. The RUT is not tradable as an index. Please view this text as idea for creating your own system on ER2, IWM, etc. But experience shows that various instruments behave in an other way than the index itself does (especially short term fluctuations). Last signals...

SideShowBob What about buy the high for a higher high? And ... sell the low for a lower low?

Will Thank you. You are right! I can't make a living form that account. My target is to be consitent in an average gain of 2% - not focussed on a specific $ amount - per day. All problems will then solve by time (see the Kelly formular above). To have such big variances in my...

Agree with you! The best system for the ER2 at a 5 days timeframe with a 2.5 grid is to fade trend at 5 points for a retracement of 2.5 points. That is opposite way around to the RUT index where you clearly go along with the trend. The RUT index system might give signals which are...

AAPL is in a short-term downtrend Short since 90 Trailing stop 90 (+reverse point) Grid is 5 points

Today's result: 02/02/07 +9.7%

I have added all trades (#0-3) in a graphics (see attached)

tyler19 I have no mapping (or System) to the ER2 Future yet. Therefore the signals which you see are for the RUT and could be taken with the instrument ER2 Future in the moment the signal is produced. For the trade on 1/2 you are right. That was a loss due to the protective trailing...
