follow up to last week's post---leave it on trailing stop, to set a hard target just click on buy/sell at 15 (opposite of entry), once it hits the hard target the trailing stop will go away, at least on initial test

if u enter a hard target at 15, if price hits your stop, you have to manually cancel the hard target, since the stop doesnt cancel that order

obviously, try it out on sim first for yourself

Hi Divergence,

You said that from testing you found 13 and 18 to be most profitable. Does that also mean that you had tested smaller ticks such as the common 4 and 8? I wanted to test them out if you have not already done so.

heres results of this month using 13 and 18 tick range bar which ever one setups up first or which ever one gives better price to enter. results based on parlay method where when up 30 ticks after a loss we go to 2 contracts and when up 90 ticks we go to 3 contracts. Month started with 7 wins in a row putting you up 105 ticks so we skip 2 contract scenario and go to 3 when we get first loss. everyday verified via 1 minute and 30 second chart for accuracy. after loss putting total at 90 we went 62 wins at 3 contracts 7 losses and 11 +8s which is really +24s total ticks for the month 2830 which equates out to 28300 not to shabby

Wow that's some really good numbers. So this is based on having a signal on both charts and only taking the better price for the usual hat, 2b and 123 ?

yes same setups sometimes only 1 charts gives it but when both give it take better price. These results didn't include those 3 huge days in august which would have produced more
