I'm not certain yet, but think I will do some results analysis.
Seems like any day we have HUGE gains in the systems, if they
trigger the next day, whe get whipped around. If they have a bit of
time in between - seems we don't get as much of a whipsaw. Sounds
like a good weekend project to me.
They'll whip around when near the narrow end of the wedge or
triangle. Before playing the systems, I'd look at the
intraday charts and avoid those patterns. Of course, you're
going against the premise that the systems work best when you don't
tinker with them, and you could miss a breakout. Tough
call, but I personally don't like automated trades when the charts
are this volatile intraday.
Ever work on a reversal system? Maybe based on Stoch, RSI or
such? If we knew what the odds were on what kind of day we were
looking at we could choose a trend or reversal
system.
If you were ever bored and wanted to pass some time writing up a
tutorial on how you would pick a trending vs. a reversal system I
sure would like to read it.
