    Please note the following tables are for 5 and 15 min Dow trades, using the 7/21 confirming candle system and holding over night. You would be continuously in the market. These results are 100% correct and go back 59 weeks and are up to date.

     

    Also note that the tables consider a slippage of 15 points, that’s around 20% of the total gains and a very conservative estimate, yet still profitable as you can see,

     

    I am sure Matt can tell you the significance of the T- formula, anything over 1.6 is GOOD.

    Here is the 5 min

    7-21 system

    Ravun,

    Just wondering if you have any stats comparing your 7-21 system (ohlc weighted moving averages with a 4 bar displacement) to a  7-21 system using only close data for the moving averages with no displacement? 

    My platform will not allow me to exactly duplicate your settings.

    Thx

    No

    I haven't checked it out, but there is someone here who trades South African futures and his entries are earlier, so he gains a bit by using a simple close and not (o/h/l/c)/4 for his ema's

    OK Thx

    lol! Cost isn't the issue. Already using 3 different platforms; just planning to consolidate to the one which offers the most benefit.

    read 8075

    On the 22nd there was NO confirming buy to my system, the crossing candle was at starting at 21:00 my time ( the ema's were 7-8058: 21-8051) and the confirming candle did NOT close above the high. The crossing candle closed at 8175.77 with the next candle opening at that mark, briefly going higher and tanking.

    I would go through the rest, but my time is busy right now

     

    Thanks for pointing out a manually incorrect input.  on 8005

    Just to prove that

    your chart is just as we have using Reuters data via SAXO2 trading platform.  pki

    On the other hand - the past two weeks on the FTSE and DAX have had a lot of whiplashes on the 7/21 xover system... fyi

    Yes

    Posted by ravun on 10th of Feb 2009 at 01:35 pm

    DAX and FTSE a lot of whip lately

    Thank you for comments.Yes I

    Posted by eugenijus on 10th of Feb 2009 at 12:58 pm

    Thank you for comments.Yes I see.My settings are correct but i use stockcharts and I had cross exactly through  this big candle.One consider either way.I took it as a crossing.your chart shows this candle  slightly behind cross.When market moves very fast one candle can make big deal.I used to check all you stats and this is first time when my chart signal was different then yours
