I no longer trade the large, just multiple small. Works out the same, except I get crushed on commissions. I would trade the Electronic Large, but my data provider does not carry it. Probably should look into another provider but.... Used to use Tradestation but e-Signal changed it over into a brokerage platform some years ago. Got a lot of data glitches around the same time & dropped it. Funny thing I noticed on the Parabolic SAR, using the YG06Q the report has 235.5 points profit (Daily trades) since March. I guess that system lends itself to trending markets well. Used to attempt to use it in spoo trading but with no luck. Anyway I've got to update my forks. Been waiting until the market moved away from the 575 to 598 range. One way or the other. I had 602 as one of the fib retracements from the May High. It's also the point where the old uptrend line cuts in, intersecting a downtrend. The CCI is crossing the Median line.... All in all I feel pretty good about it. If it can stay here or higher until Wednesday I'll move the stops up and start planning how to build the position once again. I decided to come back from the beach on Wednesday, hang around and drive back down on Friday morning. Monday I'll have my son's setup...... You're right though, I'll have to get something together for when I'm away from time to time.
