After accidentally stumbling over this interesting thread here I was reminded of my own random entry/exit-experiments. After all, I'm pretty sure sluggo made a mistake in his tests. As he found out (correctly) the trading-rule-set has to overcome a certain annual growth rate just to cover transactio...

I'm currently working on an intra-day trendfollowing system. The basis of the entry is a chart pattern which per se rises the profit factor above 1.
