E-Rock trading system

Adaline · Oct 12, 2003

This journal will be tracking a system I wrote called E-Rock for the E-mini. It exploits a unique indication of the directional surges of the broad stock market using a staple metric of statistics for entry signals, and volatility-based exit signals.

Single-contract backtest (no reinvested profit)

End of Sept. 2003 trade

Quote from Adaline:

It exploits a unique indication of the directional surges of the broad stock market using a staple metric of statistics for entry signals, and volatility-based exit signals to take advantage of near term directional surges.

That's great. I can switch back and forth between this journal and randomTrader's to see which genius has better profits.

No trades today.

I'm expecting a drawdown in this system soon, as it's been up for 7 months in a row including this month. We'll see!

System goes long 1046.50

Where is your stop-loss/profit target?

Adaline · Oct 21, 2003

The only stop situation is if a sell signal occurs. The target is now 1057.50 but will increase/decrease with volatility.

It has been performing outlandishly for so long that a drawdown is due... also note I'm not trading it, just watching it.

This systems cost 900 bucks. This thread ain't nothing more than spam from a Non sponsor of ET.

Also from the website:

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

The charts in this thread are on the from the website.

Your mileage may vary and personally I don't care one way or the other.
