Great system. Great thread. I have traded this in 2005, and made good money with it. Anyways, I have always traded it with slightly different rules, producing somewhat better results.
My results (as per AR's rules) never agreed with AR's result completely. Data feed difference maybe. But my results have always been a couple hundred bucks short every month than what AR posted. I have used $4.80 as r/t commision & $10 as r/t slippage.
Anyways, even with all that, I made good money. But I would like to forget dec. 2005. The system's pooping money for last 3 months. I started overriding the system in dec. 2005, so the losses was less than theoretical loss. But I have stopped trading the system completely over the last month or so. Consider:
As of today, the system is in $5214 drawdown.
The system has not made any money since Apr. 15th of last year. Means, since that date, equity has remained unchanged.
Profit for 2005 is $942.80
I still believe if the system is toast for good remains to be seen. But I have decided there are better opportunities elsewhere.
As per AR's original rules, results are
01/06 ($1203.20) till date
12/05 ($3216.40)
11/05 ($691.20)
10/05 $3034.00
09/05 $1079.20
08/05 ($940.80)
Previous results, refer to what AR posted earlier.
Overall, good system. Thanks.
