Roscoe. This is my first use of ANY system testing platform. I have no idea what my next plans are with regard to testing :idea: . All I know is I bought a bunch of data and I've been testing single markets with simple breakout systems and I'm really enjoying it. So, any combination of systems and m...

SP Countertrend system test
Blueberrycake & Kiwi, Thanks for the responses. I'm in the process of testing the NQ now. Before I had written my original post I had cursorily tested the NQ and it did not look promising. As I have gone back and begun my re-testing, I can see where my system DOES work but was surprised at how m...

Countertrend System on the e-mini S&P
Friends, Recently, I believe I've 'stumbled' into a decent methodology to trade the e-mini S&P on a countertrend basis. Basically I look for exhaustion of a short-term (1-2 day) trend. My method may then provide a signal to take a trade in the opposite direction. It's surprisingly simple to trad...

This to...

So, if I understand what you are saying Kiwi; you may end up having more losing trades (protecting equity) but they could be smaller which overall will help your system performance? Robert, Have you read Stridsman's book. One of the points he makes is that with some types of entry you find it diffic...
