DislikedInteresting idea, I'm having no problem making money on the G/Y using the original system rules with a profit target of 60 pips, the cable on the other hand has just cost me money consistently so I've stopped trading it for the moment.I applied a 24sma of the close on a 1hr cable chart as you suggested and looked at the last 10 days but the MA is never near the price when profitable trades need to be taken and when the MA is hit by the price bars the market was often in a range e.g look at yesterday.Ignored
Now you need to decide if you believe in the 3 day reverse rule. I don't but would probably TP one of my 2 positions and ride into day 4.
Also, I failed to mention if you are going short and above the MA, there is no reason to wait until it drops to the MA. But, the reason I use the MA is because previous day close=support/resistance. So, 2nd position (if reversed) has a SL right on the prev day close...not good.
Don't think this is the magic mushroom. You will still have losses, but I would like to think it will cut some out.
