I didn't think it was that necessary a question but there you are. Now talking about evasive...........at least tell me which indicators you use on the FTSE 100 Daily Rolling........if you provide actual settings then fine, but help me understand which indicators, over and above MACD (12-26-5...

A couple of hundred quid.

As I'm reading through these good comments, I keep coming back to the question of "whipsaw". Using the MACD histograms, I have seen the whipsaw impact at first hand - not too often certainly, but often enough to be blown out of enough trades. Clearly the MACDs are momentum indicators and are...

From Black Swan I'd welcome your suggestions on the Settings of the above Stoch, RSI etc.

I've started to look at a Scochastic window as well. I am setting it at 8-3-3...can someone advise on the numbers. I'm reading that the Scoch can give a heads-up of change, then the MACD confirms it. Any thots? Also, what other Settings are people using to gauge the in and out signal. My simple...

I'm not sure I agree with the profit calculation. Say I start with GBP100 and make 10 trades on a +20/-20 basis (ignoring the spread for this purpose). I bet GBP 10 per trade and make 10 trades. I win 6 out of 10 for 120 points and lose 4 for -80 points. Thus Net is 40 points. At GBP 10 per...

Oh and, if I may............are you strictly following the MACD levels in the Settings, the MACD switching etc as per the "system", or have you developed other strategies/signals...?

I hate this being inthe "public" domain, but here goes.............what size bet are you these days placing on the FTSE Daily Rolling...?

If I'm reading you correctly, you're saying that as long as one has a reasonable set-up plan and sticks with it rigidly, then the win/loss ratio will act in mathematical fashion. In other words, if one's set-up plan "typically" has a 60% win ratio, then run 10 trades and 6 will come home. (the 3...

The Stop and Profit Levels can be adjusted through my WAMC approach and, in theory, raises the overall percentage winnings, but until we find a more plausible signalling system then we're merely playing percentages of win/lose, which while admirable, is a side show to the main event. Now, if...

Thanks Tomorton, I think we're talking about the same system. I have been very disappointed with the the guy's declared results. It doesn't stack up. So, in an effort to "improve" it, I have been doing is what I call the WAMC approach...."Watch and Manually Close". I too found this +12/-15...

I am fairly new to Day Trading the FTSE 100. I bought a system, which provides a daily wrap-up e-mail. The good parts of the system promo were shattered by the actual results the guy who sells the system gets on his trades. OK, he's honest about his gains/losses, but I didn't buy honesty...
