    Is the BIDU system as easy to set up in Tradestationas AIG ?

    If so, could you provide some setup instructions in the premium section along the lines of those for AIG?

    While the parameters are clearly posted, not all of us have the TS experience that you guys do.  This is why some simple instructions would be very helpful.

    Many thanks.

    The systems do take some familiarity

    The systems do take some familiarity with Tradestation but I think you will find them easy to set up.  You see the parameters on the BIDU page here: http://breakpointtrades.com/premium/viewer.php?nl_id=29

    This means you will be adding 2 Moving Averages and 2 Pivots.  The two moving averages you are looking to add are Simple Moving Averages and the Pivots you will find under strategies and they are title d Pivot Reversal LE and Pivot Reversal SE.  So you will add the 2 averages on the chart and then the 2 pivots.  The system buys and sells on MA Crosses and Pivots.  So if you are short because of an MA cross and get a Pivot buy then you will close the short and go long until the next Pivot or MA cross for short (please note on the chart after the Pivot buy their was an MA cross for a buy but we didn't take that because we were already long).  I attached a screen short of this happening.  If you have anymore questions you can email me directly at thomas@breakpointtrades.com.  Also since we are using Simple MAs for this system I think TS has code already in their for the MA crosses so out of the box you can run this strategy automated.

    Very helpful if simple instructions
