Thnks Ljr, the last month has been extraordinary, hopefully things will improve. Nothing worse than seeing a position turn around after you have been stopped out but as you say they are there for a good reason. Good Luck

Hi is anyone trading the EOD system this year, would be interesting to hear how January faired? Thanks

Bouncing off it nicely, let's see if it holds

Good luck nt, I came to the same conclusion, mechanical systems work sometimes and not others - FACT. The best investment I made was to try to understand price better (read Steve Nisons - The Candlestick Course, which I feel has been invaluable), how it reacts at previous s/r levels...

Hard to call, mixed news overall, better than expected NFP numbers but crude price is rising and lowered outlooks from National Semi Conductors and Xilinx, also downgrade of 3M.

Looks like it is. Likely to be range bound until Friday, with the release of the non-farm payroll numbers.

Found this link on another thread: http://www.traderdaily.com/column4/3469.html Well worth a read - interesting times ahead!

Thanks, interesting read, 13 stocks account for 58% of the index!

Thanks, I emailed CS for an answer who confirmed dividend adjustments aren't made on DOW spreadbets: 'We do not calculate the dividend adjustments for the Wall Street Rolling Daily, as we do for the FTSE, because the dividends on the Wall Street are taken out at different times and it would...

Afternoon All.. Are dividend adjustments made when spreadbetting the DOW in the same way they are when spreadbetting the FTSE? For instance, with a FTSE 100 index bet you receive a proportion of the dividend when long and pay all of the dividend if short, the spreadbet adjustment is made on...

Hi PP, this does look promising, the problem i've had in the past with EMA crossover strategies has been whipsaws. We've all been there, shaken out only to see the trade reverse again in your favour. How do you implement stoplosses? Also entries can be tricky, taking Fri 8/9 as an example...

Hi, sounds interesting. How long do you hold a trade for on average?

Thanks, great charts. Do you generally wait for a pull-back to the 12 period ma in the 5 min chart before entering or just look for a break of it?

leo, thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to avoid over complicating my strategy with too many indicators initially. But taking on board your advice I'm trying a 30 min chart to determine trend (again using a 5 period MA) and then taking my signal from a 5 minute chart but only in the...

Thanks CV - will look out for them, have always been cautious around 100s but wasn't aware of the others. Aln - I'm using a 5 period moving average, with 0.3% deviation from this to create the upper and lower channel lines. CC - Agreed the envelope isn't key to this although it does help with...
