Quote from Thunderdog:
Could it be that you finally see the way surf talks from both sides of his mouth and employs Situational Semantics TM as the need arises? Does that mean that you read my post, which identified his contradictory comments, and then observed him spin his semantic web and excrete the obligatory defensive ooze which enables him to become sufficiently slippery (or so he thinks) to ostensibly extricate himself from the corners he habitually paints himself into? Could it be?
Not true.
Here is a chart which utilizes the
Trend Drift concept. The settings are for a position trader, and while you may take a trade intra-day, quite often a move will continue for a substantial amount of time (particularly in the currencies and bonds, less so in the futures).
While the chart nailed these two entries, the system actually will only win 3 out 4 / 4 out 5 ...

.
Losses are flexible, as your stop may not be hit before you are required to change/close your current position, however the maximum loss is for approximately 1/4 times your maximum win ...

(if that much, because it is designed to keep you in the trade for the duration of its run, and as we have seen, some of these currencies and energies can run).
However, you don't try to hit every squiqqly line, and you must be sufficiently capitalized to trade in such a fashion
(not really a great method for the 3 tick e-mini s&p traders).
Good trading,

P.S. For anyone actually reading this stuff, I edited the win percentage, LOL. It wins often and well, but you will have to take the occasional hit, and it's going to be more than 2pts ES or equivalent.
