DislikedSo I did a little combining of Howards idea with my system and for this month we would be up +1000 pips and counting. Im going over to Eric's tonight to backtest the year and Ill get back to ya guys on this one. I should do a chart to bring us current as well...I love how this thread just died instantly when the system started out down -600 pips pips for the month, now its up +300 or so. The people that left because of that should not come back, youll never have what it takes to be sucessful in this market, you should just stop trading and save...Ignored
I have experienced at least 3 major sideways choppy pip eating moves since I joined this thread (near the beginning) and we always come out with a big move and did well. Sometimes we may cross a calendar line and be in the next month, who cares?
I lowered my contract size to about 25% of what I usually trade on Monday, so I did not get the full advantage of the move. I did not do that because of the chop, I did it because of the holidays. I'll go all the way up and make it back in January, no problem. I like what you said about the deserters not coming back, but some may have left for Christmas.
Are you saying you are combining the daily and four hour and getting back to us with a new improved system? Or just a better daily system?
How are we doing with an EA that can test these ideas quickly?
This is a very exciting thread that just keeps improving, thanks for starting it.
