A Simple E-mini Trading System

... still no trades. 🙁[/QUOTE]

But drawdown number looks good.

Did your friend at Rockwell have done any backtesting of this system and what were the results ?
Thanks

perhaps you could reduce the timeframe to increase the number of trades?

Hi, cant see why you are posting all the time - we can all see ourselves where the Boll bands are, why not just post when you trade? which looks a few days away at the moment!

Hi everybody,

here are some answers :

ottos:
I programmed the strategy in Genesis Financial Trade Navigator.
Attched are the screenshots of the equity curve and the performance report for the e-mini S&P for the testing period from Jan 2002 to date.

FetteredChinos:
I tested the strategy on smaller timeframes, but it doesn't look to promising: The profit factor decreases dramatically, and the drawdown increases. Any ideas for improvements are welcome 🙂

apples10:
I don't mind posting the orders every day. They are generated by my software, and therefore it's not a big deal.

Question for the Moderator:
Is there a way to conduct a quick poll whether I should continue posting the orders or not?
Some people might find it helpful, but I agree with apples: It's becoming a little bit boring when there are no trades .

Probably best just to do as apples' suggestion I'd say, and make the posts when a trade is executed - that way we can all see how it works out, and everyone will know that any post that's added by you means a trade was probably run.
