Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time. Can you explain what an EA is? I have done a lot of software programming as well as programming of strategies. How do you use your discretion to influence your 40% strategy? Do you think you would be able to take it 100% automated or...

Hi there.. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have worked in the software industry for 21 years now and I have done a lot of programming over the years. I currently program all of my strategies but have not had access to any tools that would allow me to back/forward test them correctly...

Hi there.. I was wondering if anyone is having any success with trading using a 100% systematic approach with automated trading? I think that just getting any system and backtesting it so it's profitable and running it forward is asking for a disaster. I do believe that a quality strategy...

Has anyone had any success with this system on the S&P futures ES? What about anything else outside currencies? Thanks! -Alli Sent from my iPhone

Has any key had any luck in using this system on something other than currency pairs? I'm interested in using it on futures like ES, CL, YM, GC, etc. Thanks, -Allistah

I'm curious to know if anyone is successful using this system on anything other than currencies? What about index futures or anything like that?

Well, do you have any recommendations? I've looked at a few and the fees they charge just to have the IRA there is crazy.. I'd be curious to what you'd recommend though...

Yeah I think because we're in different parts of the world we have different terminology for the same things which confused the hell out of me. lol I was thinking "1 point below and above?! The orders would be WAY over here and there! What the hell?! lol" 1 pip/tick makes much more sense...

I think I just realized the confusion. The rules refer to "1 point". A point to me is one full point as in 1325.0 to 1326.0. For the S&P futures 1 full point is $50 per contract. Within each "1 point" on the ES there are 4 ticks which is worth $12.50 each. Looking back at the charts, I also...

Here is another chart.. Is the limit order placed at the middle arrow price on the bar pointing by the top arrow? Is the bottom arrow for the stop at the right place (1 point below the middle pin bar?) Thanks, -Alli

I've looked at plenty of the charts you've posted but your orders aren't on them so I can't tell which bars you placed the orders and at what price.. Unless I'm missing them on the charts.. I saw one fill line but I don't know what bar the order was placed on.

Just went back and read it again... Still not clear to me. 3/Entry is 1 point above or below the pin in direction of the pin Is the pin the middle bar or are you considering the whole pattern the pin? Because if the pin bar is pointing down and the next bar on the right is super tall, your...

Well, like I said I've gone over it a number of times and it wasn't clear to me where you placed the orders. I'll go read it again and look through the charts and find a few examples and post them with what I think is correct and if you guys could give me a thumbs up or down I'd appreciate it...

I'm going back trying to figure this out.. Are you guys using limit orders at the ends of the middle bar itself or the ends of one of the side bars of the pattern? See my chart up above...

Ok, here is a chart of the ES... Would I have went short on the bar pointed by the red vertical arrow with a limit order placed at the point where the horizontal arrow is? If price would have went up, would the limit order have been at the yellow or the green arrow? Thank you, -Alli
