Looking for opinions on this system.

Quote from intradaybill:

Is this system trading on 1-min data? If it is, and you get one trade every few days, then it is not only fitted, it is royally fitted and filtered. You should have thousands of trades on 1-min data for this period. What is the point in trading 1-min data if you are going to get a trade every few days? The only purpose I can see is for giving room for optimizing the system and filtering out bad trades using all sorts of indicators.

The point of limiting myself to a single timed trade per day is to maximize capital utilization from a down period on another system I am running, so this system only has about an hour to run every day. Beyond that, if it actually makes money doing a single trade using 1min bar analytics, then that is enough reasons to do it for me.

Its possible that it is over fit, but I would be surprised if a system which I literally plucked out of the air turned out to be over fit on 5 years of data without optimizing. And honestly I think its too simple to be over fit to unique specifics on that much back data, it is more likely fit to some market truism.
