I thought some of the questions were meant to be helpful. I am sorry that you did not find them so. So let me try again. Consider the word "up". You have applied three simple moving averages. (BTW, there is a reason they call them "simple".) You require them to be "up". Now in children's books, "up" is clear, as when Theodore Geisel says "Pup is up". However in trading, one should define "up". I suspect that you define "up" by scaling each of the three tick interval charts so that they look "up" to you when price is making a significant move. Now that is very sloppy, and certainly not amenable to any kind of testing, back, forward, or sideways. "Up" should be defined numerically. That is why when I want to know what's "up", I run a filter estimator on it and set a testable threshold. Should you progress beyond "up" to "up fast", a quantifiable. velocity estimator would be equally handy. However, I do not recommend that you try "up faster", as second derivatives of price tend to be a little "slippery". That's a technical term, also quantifiable. And whoever it was that advised you to quit fucking around and just trade it was right. If it REALLY works, you can trade one car on anything cheap, like QM for example. Even NQ is cheaper than ES. Bonne chance!
