The difference is my entry criteria is quite a bit simpler and is based on a MACD pullback when the MACD histogram goes below zero while the signal lines are still above (for longs). Take the next MACD crossover backup if it iccurs within a few bars.<br /><br />Basiclaly it is a pullback in a trending situation. The key for this strat is Money Management, My target is 38 ticks firm. My stop averages 12 ticks and I do not move my stop until 50% of the profit has been achieved. <br /><br />Avg Winner is 2x average loser and win rate is around 70%... so it is doing very well. Key is - I only tale 1 trade per day and only if it occurs within an 80 minute window which happens about 3 days of the week.<br /><br />If you want to work on the project or share ideas email me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123393016688961630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-17082286078439999552010-04-15T23:30:27.719+01:002010-04-15T23:30:27.719+01:00Bakrob, I'm working on an EL type strategy for...Bakrob, I'm working on an EL type strategy for the Euro at the European open, preferably automated (eventually).<br /><br />You mentioned you had a simpler strat for the Euro - any hints on that?Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-50397361632773918002010-04-15T17:55:09.081+01:002010-04-15T17:55:09.081+01:00LS_Chad, In case others on this blog don't kno...LS_Chad, In case others on this blog don't know - it is worth saying that you work for Investor/RT. Thanks for looking into options to minimize this issue.<br /><br />By the way, Kiki recommended that I nest my code with if/then/else statements so that all other conditions are processed before VB conditions are assessed.Tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072626652208148494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-13204235117339783082010-04-15T14:37:36.440+01:002010-04-15T14:37:36.440+01:00Tartan, I have been thinking about the issue you b...Tartan, I have been thinking about the issue you bring up relating to VB recalcs and I am pondering some options to alleviate the issue.

In fact, if the strat detects that there was no retracement to the close (entry point), it is profitable to extend targets and/or add a contract at the close of the next bar.<br /><br />Another option is to intitiate the trade entry with fewer contracts and add on a pullback at --4 ticks. Leave the stop alone. This improves profitability on exits and reduces average loss size. Bigger breakout trades that don't pullback can be added as described above.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123393016688961630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-48751655043003063032010-04-15T13:34:22.872+01:002010-04-15T13:34:22.872+01:00Tom,

My drop dead stop is 13 ticks which has been rarely hit (3x since January).<br /><br />MM rules: <br />at +5 ticks move stop to -3<br />at +8 ticks move stop to BE<br />Exits:<br />1st target min: 12 ticks.<br />Trailing stop exits use a variety of methods to exit but mostly do not occur until the strat is +20 ticks.<br />Max: 2 trades per day.<br /><br />Pretty standard stuff.<br /><br />Works on EURO too but I have a different and simplere strat for the EC which gives a better RR, so I don't trade the Range Breakout Strat yet on other markets.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123393016688961630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-33034194688478484132010-04-15T08:41:15.108+01:002010-04-15T08:41:15.108+01:00Shrike, it's all in the blog.

Send a chart definition of the chart you run it on too. MD and IRT are the same except for MD's looking inside the bar stuff.

I am very immersed in trying to create a trading system that is based upon all that I read here.<br /><br />I have been working to automate this system system (actually it is currently just a signalling system at present) and it is showing reasonable results in my backtesting so far. I am running Investor/RT which uses the same RTL language as Market Delta.<br /><br />However, I am having a problem which Kiki and others on this blog seem to have overcome. The problem is that when I include logic that uses the Volume Breakdown indicator within my RTL, then the Investor/RT needs to recalculate all of my RTL at each incoming tick. Because my RTL logic is fairly complicated, running it at every tick is bringing my computer to its knees as I try to use my automated signals in real time.<br /><br />Kiki, did you had similar issues and if so how did you resolve them? Did any other people on this board have similar issues that they managed to overcome.<br /><br />I would really appreciate any advice that others may have in this regard. In turn, I am happy to provide my advice to anyone that needs it.<br /><br />Thanks for an excellent blog Tom and Kiki.Tartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072626652208148494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-42425309428362135132010-04-14T20:49:37.481+01:002010-04-14T20:49:37.481+01:00Hi

We're using the logic to exit and that's another thing we are monitoring in demo mode to see what the actual risk metrics are.Electronic Localhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539999419310383613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847353783015972405.post-72646279448726073722010-04-14T17:58:16.413+01:002010-04-14T17:58:16.413+01:00Hello Boss,
