Just to clarify: the "official" system is going long, but,
naturally, members can choose to go flat. Is that correct?
What I'm not clear about is what you mean by "I may treat the
system as going flat instead of going long." By that do you
mean that you, personally, will go flat? Or are you adding a
new rule to the system?
I'm trying to understand what the statistics of the system will
be based on. If the system goes flat today, even though it
should go long, then the statistics will reflect a discretionary
move or be the product of a rule change.
It says in my comments that I have not decided yet.
However I may just treat it as flat since the system has
never went long this high, but I have not decided. But you
can personally choose to go long if you want and either use the
BPGDM crossing below the 8 MA or use a 15 or 60 min chart as your
exits.

BPGDM will cross over the 8 day MA today

My question concerns what you

My question concerns what you haven't decided yet. Have you not decided to change the rules, or to override them?
This is important because it involves the nature of rule-based trading.
