      Post 1842 introduces my latest work in progress... I’ve posted plenty of charts on this & other threads over the years. I use indicators primarily as a “picture frame” to overlay on price, rather than as signal generators. I do feel it best to start ...

      Good day to have gone to the beach... (well, so far)... So, 60 mins in - with no moving stop to b/e allowed (!!!) - I am a magnificent -3+3+1+4 (short long short long zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)... FDXM. I am taking a break, so this means the market ...

      Tomorrow is King's Day here - the Dutch National Day - so I am not sure if I will trade at all. In May, for me it is going to be "And now for something completely different", a live forward test based on my auto strategy R&D. Bigger targets, less ...

      Trade 1 a bit earlier than usual for me, as I have a "short" morning; trying to make things as mechanical as possible, whilst remaining a method rather than a system : image Edit : missed +20 target by 4 ticks, exit + 8. CL comment : I'd now like ...

      Great signals for me this morning.... instead of trading them, I've been almost melting my computer processor running backtests on that strategy code I mentioned yesterday.... dear, oh, dear... (but it's so interesting...)... 1 x FDXM since 1 Jan ...

      Agreed - at least on intraday timeframes - but can be useful nevertheless as a research tool. If it doesn’t backtest well, it’s got no chance live... At a pro level on Daily timeframes, back-testing can be both effective, useful & the signals ...

      The arrows are generated by an indicator, not a strategy, so I cannot computer backtest. During my windy walk just now , I contemplated how I might manipulate a strategy that I do have to produce a very similar result, allowing a backtest of ...

      jtLabs R&D Dept is hard at work trying to find the "contextual substitute" I find both missing from and so hard to add to my trading. Here is a current work in progress : used as a "take all trades in this direction only" directional ...

      Bravo... & I am -8-1+9, so down 3 commissions.... but you're right, much less stressful to trade FDXM. Nonetheless, "must try harder" Edit : Trade 4 underway (I hope those MMs are listening to BCU) - autotrail stop hit at +14, +30 target ...

      1 x FDAX short just now from 553.5 to 544 (my target was 540.5) brought me +19 ticks to get me almost square for day (-4 ticks inc commissions); given my position when I left for the border, I'll take it. Tomorrow, I will trade 1 x FDXM with ...
