Quah,
Very astute response to tampa. I appreciate that you included that you call 'em good and bad. It is very easy to remember the days that you call 'em all good, and very easy to forget the other times.
Today was a wacky day anyway. I think most traders are looking to get on the right side of a trend and that has been tough lately. But the SVS method doesn't need all that much trend to capitalize on.
My bet is tomorrow is a 2 contract day. Plus, one cannot forget the positive results from doubling up on the reversal. That would have added $$$ to the treasury this whole time too. And, the NQ has performed very well, especially given that, as I recall, the profit and loss parameters were not studied nearly as much as those for the ES.
Trading is so hard on the psyche. SVS wins day after day, and yet let it have one or two sub par days and the storm clouds move in. Well I say, I'm not gonna take it.
Did Abraham Lincoln say "Give me liberty, or I'll take my seat?" Did Benjamin Franklin forget the Alamo? When Louie Armstrong landed on the moon, did he say, "Man it sure is dusty up here?"
No by golly, and neither will I!

I have coded this into TS6 now in realtime.
To this day, I do not think that I have duplicated any of your trades.
Here is the output:
Buy 10/3/2002 08:38 829.00 FibEntryL 1 (0.30%) $2.40 $0.00 .00 0.00%
10/3/2002 08:40 826.50 SARL ($129.80) ($16.30) $2.40
Sell 10/3/2002 08:40 826.50 SARL 1 0.33% $2.40
10/3/2002 08:53 823.75 PTS $132.70 $116.40 $2.40
Buy 10/3/2002 09:04 832.00 FibEntryL 1 0.27% $2.40
10/3/2002 09:08 834.25 PTL $107.70 $224.10 $2.40
Sell 10/3/2002 10:54 825.75 FibEntryS 1 0.27% $2.40
10/3/2002 11:05 823.50 PTS $107.70 $331.80 $2.40
The (129.80) is a loss, otherwise if it is not surrounded by a parens, it is a profit. So the first trade was a loss, then it SARL (STOP AND REVERSE LONG) and that made 132.70. If two trades do not have a blank line between them, it means that there was a stop loss and the next trade took another trade at the same price as the stop loss in the other direction, i.e., a SAR. The $2.40 is comission per trade. PTS means profit target short, and PTL means profit target long.
According to my stuff, the system made $218.30 on four trades today after comissions. It did not take a trade after 10:54 (CDT)
