I wouldn't reccomend it. All having drawdowns, what happened to Winton? THey stopped reporting in November.

from that quote i assume you don't have drawdowns.... your equity line is a perfect 45º slope straight line...

As fow Winton, here it goes:

December 2009 : -2.45% YTD 2009: -4.6%

January 2010: - 2.6%

Why didn't you start the lateral at the point 2 bar?

Because it doesn't look like there's a formation there, it looks to me like the red ibgs bar made higher high.

So you don't annotate lateral movement? Fair enough...I don't annotate formations or movement. But why start a lateral on the pt 3 of your thick black container? Laterals go from pt2 to pt 3 of some fractal. don't they?

I do, but only those that begin with formation

Because the market created one there.

Some of them do and some of them don't - I am not sure if I understand your question.

Mr. Black,

you guys seem to use fixed targets and stops? How are they determined- from the chart or are they just a fixed amount, such as 20 ticks...?

Than,s.
 
You claimed a profit target of 1.357 and this chart didn't even hit that target. So, how in the world can you claim that you just obtained a +20 point profit?

when you enter long@1.3545 and you exit@1.3565.... 1.3565-1.3545=0.0020
 
Yes. I would agree with you if you wouldn't have said that your original target wasn't at 1.357 (not 1.3565).
