You are welcome. All hawkers eventually spit.

If your entry is numberical and unambiggerous, you can code it and backtest for the optimum profit to take. System trading with the odds as revealed by backtest is the cure for all trading ills. You may never even catch a cold again, it's so efficacious.

I recommend that you pick one. They all behave differently IMO. But soon, if we are blessed, Jack Hershey, the undisputed maven of intraday futures trading, will weigh in and resolve any uncertainties for you. I am just the warmup act.

Permit me to recommend that you approach futures as if you were a naturalist attempting to fathom a naturally occurring behavior. Pay no attention to anyone else's advice. Simply observe. You are looking for evidence of collective behaviors possibly different from what you know from trading...

Have you ever traded before?

A better definition of volatility. Pushed the "down" button.

At least my analysis predicts a direction.

A chart is worth 1000 guesses. This elevator is going down.

Permit me to recommend that you do it the easy way first. Go to "Tools", "EPS", "Formula Wizard" and fool around with their code autogenerator. After you get an idea how EFS script is structured, you can go to the EFS Knowledgebase here...

Ironfist, recent research has shown that a high incidence of brainfarts leads to Alzheimer's.

I prefer THIS Hayek video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQKjCJXnJSE

We talking Salma here?

Well, Proppy and Gabby, that was just the first instance of STP. The dread syndrome manifests in many forms. Take a client I had who was smart enough not to buy into the "4X daily range" bullshit, but yet not smart enough to really think for himself. He unpiggily allowed as how "I can settle...

Trust me, you can't make this shit up. The best humor is the god's own truth. Anyway, after watching the recommended system in action for a few days, my client cried out in pure joy "All this time I have been looking for someone to tell me what to DO!" So he bought the system. And traded it...

Thanks, Propasia, but you'd cry like a baby all day like me if you had to listen to such bathetic stories all day. Anyway, I sell Mr. Failed SCT Trader a semifast intraday system that kinda-sorta-maybe mimics the action of SCT. I tell him "Watch that little helper study at the bottom of the...

Thanks for the madvice, StarTrackie, but don't knock it. Selling over-optimized systems is a great living. The client comes complaining, you ask "Did you take ALL the indicated trades?" Invariably the sheepish answer is "Well, no." To which my canned reply is "Then don't complain to me, bitch!"...

As many of you may recall, I have been treating traders suffering from TA (no, not technical analysis, trading addiction, the other TA is impossible to cure) for many years now and posting therapy synopses here. In conjunction with my trading development partner Professor Joe Doaks, I have been...

Thanks for explaining. And please permit me a recommendation. If you have the financial resources to subscribe to a data service which also allows you to backtest, you will save yourself much trading loss and sadness going forward to do so. ESignal, for examaple, is in the range of $150 a month...

Ulla, perhaps it would help if you explained how you propose to use multiple bands. MY own objection is that if one band doesn't suffice, why should more bands be better?
