...Onlne Video on my original post above posted tonite Chris, thank you for taking the time to post the video. Wow, that was a lot of information covered in such a short amount of time. I made some progress using a "flag" to set up a trade. Since I am just beginning the present study, I won't go too far into technicals. I started with my current trading model, and replaced the entry method (a simple buy/sell stop limit) with a "flag" entry method (a simple swing or double swing consolidation followed by a buy/sell stop limit). It appears that the "flag" entry method can achieve a higher winning % of trades, and more consistent profits over the 1982-2001 range of historical data compared to the direct entry method. I won't say much about profit levels, because they are so sensitive to parameter optimization that I don't those numbers too much. However, it appears that the "flag" entry method does as well or better in overall profits.
