yes it shorts. entries are noted by L1,L2,L3,L4, and
shorts are S1,2,3,4. again you don't always get 4 entries, in
fact it's rare, most trades are two entries and some are only
1.
Notice that the system started scaling in on Friday, yes you had
to take some heat on Monday morning on the gap down, but the trades
all made money and sold yesterday

I see that it adds to losing positions. I'd be interested to see
how it deals with that when it goes wrong and also, I expect
TradeStation counts each of the 4 entries as a separate trade, so
you get 4 winners for the price of one.
And after seeing that over a long enough time period, we'd like
the chance to have it please.
no each trade is counted separately, yes it scales into trades,
so once in a while you take some heat on your first or second entry
but then everything is sold at once. however each trade is
counted separately, NOT as one trade, so sometimes on a position
where you have 4 entries, maybe they will all be winners, or maybe
three out of four will be winners with the first one being a slight
loser, but most of the trades are winning trades (93% of
them). The few losing trades are the 1st entries that got in
a little early, but the point there is that you are
only entering 20% of your
position, so it doesn't affect you much. As far as bad
trades, if it get's into a bad trade, it has stops.
Also it only works on Mulitcharts, and not Tradestation.
MATT -- Does this mean that we will need to get Multi-Charts for
some reason to use the system? Or -- since you will be sending out
email alerts for the trades -- will there be any reason why we
can't simply execute them on whatever platform or brokerage that we
want? This is a non-automated system that triggers simply off your
email alerts -- right?
