Patrick, Just started reading this thread.. <<<I believe it. Just yesterday I rolled some system over from the SP March Contract to the SP June Contract. The same systems that backtested and traded well on the March are losers on the June. >>> I fought that for a long time.. It was like a whole different universe from one front month to the next. It finally dawned on me.. IMO it has to do with magnitude of the premium.. So everything has to be adjusted so it is hard if not imposssible to back test beyond 3 months with the same settings... So now for my directional work, I just use the cash. And enter only in that direction. as supplied by hourly bars on the SPX. For new index futures traders, I suggest all quote.com subscribers to look at real time VIX bars in the very short term. 1',2'3' 5' etc.. put the ADX on them, for entry points.. fiddle around with them. good luck . .. coug
