If you are going to trade a system like this the only way to do it is consistently tomorton, so in my opinion you are right. I broke the rules today and I got lucky, but that could go either way.
The point about testing and achieving consistent results is that you get a strictly defined method that gives a consistent winning ratio. If you chop and change and arbitrarily stop or start, you are just as likely to hit the bad times as the good, and that would probably put you off the system.
Hmmm - I'm assuming you mean 5971 rather than 5791? and .3 maybe?Todays trade Short @ 5791.8 Stop @ 5984.3 Limit @ 5957.3
Good work Doomberg, glad to hear we're following a good track. And why not indeed trade BB on the Dow after lunch, having made a good profit on the FTSE after breakfast?
Tomorton - had a thought today regarding NFP or other news days that you might be able to assist with. These days usually have fairly quiet mornings as the market is awaiting the news release, due to this your BB target is less likely to get hit. Do you have figures that could provide some insight into whether this is true and what kind of w/l ratio you get on these days?
