This is my last update for 2012 ... I have been working over the last couple of weeks at "tweaking" the parameters of the reversal system, in the end I found a very minor improvement playing on 1 parameters of the pivot subsystem (namely, ALeftMinSize which is the min. volume required on the left side of a pivot candidate), and a couple of significant improvements by changing the entry level ...
... I actually found 2 better settings: a more aggressive one, allowing to increase both the number of trades (+7%) & the P&L (+9%), improving the average per trade ($171 for 2 contracts) and reducing the historical max drawdown, for a P/F of 1.76 (unchanged) over 1082 trades in 6 years, and a more conservative one, which coupled to reduced trading hours (morning only), cuts the # of trades in half (530) but improves the average per trade ($199 for 2 contracts) and the P/F (2.00), while reducing the historical max drawdown (-4730 vs -7630 for the most aggressive version).
I will be trading both configurations in 2013, plus one derived of the current entry level.
PM me if you are interested in a strategy exchange, or even by something like leasing it.
Happy New-Year!
