This thread is in a coma. It's time to pull the plug.
After this post which provides the standard ET hindsight no-docs update
I consider this thread dead and closed.
1) Donation day, 8/27/13, was a HUGE success.
Over $4300 was donated to
threesquare.org
The largest single-transaction cash donation I have EVER made!
2) I have added minor "features" to my little black-box. Things like a toggle for taking only shorts or only longs, and trade auto-sizing based on ATR. At this point, the trade logic ain't broken so I ain't fixin it! As I stated previously, BB is not a replacement of me. It is a tool to allow me to focus on other markets. BB trades YM and NQ. TF, or whatever the Mini Russell 2000 symbol is on your platform is my primary day-trading bread & butter.
3) Other than TF, I have been swinging DX (shorts only) and several softs. As usual, SB is a sweet-ass instrument for me. Unbelievably, performance bond was reduced on SB in time for the roll from V3 to H4. For the unknowing, 9/30/13 is LTD for SBV3. Action in OJ has also been fun with gaps, islands and reversals. Kinda funny what I deem as "fun" nowadays.
4) Thanks to a Jack Hershey book recommendation in another thread, I have been studying Al Brooks bar-by-bar methods. Similarities to parts of my systems should make logic tweaks relatively easy but most importantly, useful (ie. profitable).
Thank you Jack.
That's it. No charts. No blotters. No stat reports. No pics of cashier checks. No forecasts.
Trade On!
