Dislikedgiraia br - I wouldn't worry about people's opinions on Joel's backtesting. Firstly, they have neither his exact code, nor do they know what data he's using, nor which version of TS he has used.
As for TradeStation not being able to test pre-2003 data to 1 min resolution or lower : more nonsense. As far as I recall, "Look Inside Bar" backtesting was introduced in TradeStation 2000. I leave you to guess in which year that was introduced . Intraday backtests could be run in TS4 long before that.Ignored

DislikedThanks for sharing your approach to trading this system Ian. This is the sort of thing I was hoping to find in this thread. I'm curious what results you got when you added trailing stops.... did that help much? What size TS have you been using?Ignored
DislikedHas anyone tried taking half of their position off at 1R and leaving the stop where it is? I've forgotten if so.
Seems like since the system makes up for losses through huge breakouts, cutting your profits in half wouldn't help too much. I guess it depends how many full losses would turn into breakeven at that point.
If you did it this way, I think it might just decrease your overall drawdown as well as return.Ignored

Super Secret Three Step Trend Determination Method
Step 1) Print chart.
Step 2) Hang chart on wall.
Step 3) Stand across the room from the chart, and ask a kid whether it's going up or down. This is the trend direction.
Now I don't have any kids around to ask, and I don't have a printer (big monitor works just as well), so I will have to pretend, but you get the point (and hopefully my sarcasm in the method title).
Nobody said it had to be complicated.Ignored
