Something very simplistic

Check the "all sessions" box and see if that changes anything.

I'm using 24-hour data on my charts.

No problem. That shouldn't matter after the first 17 bars, of course.

I don't know how many people are still paper-trading this, but perhaps someone would be interested in determining how starting at 0945 differs from 0930 using the same intervals.

Hi Quah, please could you help me once again

At 11:54 on September 26 your account log shows you go Long. Looking at the following screen please could you explain how this is possible.

I'm showing the log saying S 852 at 11:54 on 9/26.

Just checked your log and it does say Short. Very strange as mine definately says Long (see attached image). Did you update it at all?

Thanks for your help

Hmm. Those are the NQ trades - not the ES trades. Not sure how that got displayed that way. I have noticed that sometimes I have to click twice on the tab to get the screen to change.

Got chopped up on the ES every other trade near the open, otherwise not too bad. NQ smoked.

For ES:

14 trades/8 wins/6 losses Gross +0.50

For NQ:

13 trades/10 wins/3 losses Gross +21.00

Quah,

After looking at your data, I see that NQ is more successful than ES. This may have to do with the fact that your target and stop on the ES reside in the "noise channel" and less so in the price-path channel.

I wonder what the result would be if you doubled both and made it target +2.0 and Stop loss -2.50

Good work.

Hi Quah, you seem to be profitable everyday with your system. Is it the fib times or the trade orientation (L/S) that makes your system successful? Have you revealed how you determine long or short? Good job so far!
