The DX is a good tool to use for trading currency futures, as they will mostly trade in opposite direction DX trend(if any) of the day.

Traded currency futures today very strong USD so easy ticks. Used Heiken Ashi candles today, as I've been reading about them lately. Wanted to try live. Liked so far, but if you want to try them read up, definite difference from regular candles and ...

Also thanks to Tradersland for giving me a new obsession a viable mechanical system. Never tried to do it before, let's see what happens.

Another interesting test, winning % went up gains went down. From my point of view I don't see how this is ultimately successful as a fully mechanical system, it generates too many signals. Without being able to consider PA you wind up with too many ...

Patricc, A question for you. You have both the Ichimoku and 200EMA on your chart. Both in day trading would be considered baselines, where if price is above you only take longs below only take shorts, correct? Have you looked at using only 1? Using ...

Interesting thread, possibly it's not neccessarily reinventing the wheel it's reinventing what kind of trader suits you best. Long term, swing trader, day trader, very few a re good at all of them. Then there's mechanical, discretionary, technical, ...

Is it possible to reinvent the wheel?

Took 2 index trades well actually 3, nice trade on YM, 2 trades on ES got stopped out on first trade, but reentered and got most of the loss back. 2 nice currency trades on 6E & 6J nice PA in my direction easy to let run.

Ok here's today's trades went back to cleaner chart ending use of LBR indicator. Ultimately while it didn't help, didn't hurt either just like a cleaner chart. 5 trades 4 winners and 1 B/E. ES really a hot mess should've got out when I got jumpy ...

Also 1 other difference with how I trade is the S/L as you know I don't leave S/L where I originally place it. I move to B/E asap usually once 1/2 way or so to target, also I will tend to end trade befor my S/L is hit if I don't like PA ie. been ...

Interesting video, actually kind of surprised it was profitable taking every signal. Win % about what I'd expect. I've always said it's a system where you shouldn't take every signal. Differences from how I trade, use only during opens of major ...

Basically another boring day thought I did exhibit a little more patience than yesterday

Really another wishy washy day took 3 late small pulbacks on currency futures 6b, 6c, and 6e. Indexes again were kind of a mess large candles back and forth short moves so stayed away.

After partying way too much Saturday night and spending yesterday in Zombie Land went to bed at 9pm. So I got up early today, traded inexes only 2 wins and and 1 loss(a trade I entered against my better judgement). There was definitely some currency ...

This system is highly discretionary, so any backtesting I would think needs to be done manually a very large task, you seem to be looking for a black box system with strict rules. Which you could develop I guess, but using this just going by ...

Indexes a messy day for NY open, currency I took a couple of trades, strong USD again but movement down is slowing somewhat so stuck with 6b and 6c which showed most weakness. Got lucky on Oil with a fast trade up.

Very good index day, currency some big moves due to USD last 2 days but poor timing for me happening when I'm not trading. Kept a close eye on indexes today after the crappy PA yesterday and poor trading on my part. So kept moving my SL up which ...

Well this was my shittiest trading day in a long time, not so much about the money made some, but trades I took. NQ trade was fine right up my alley good choice, good trade. But trades on ES and YM were just terrible PA was crappy and ugly. Bad me.
