>>> Can you give what stats you have available of how successful you have been with it? What % of accuracy have you experienced? <<< Hi Electric. I can't give you any solid stats yet on my system since it is still fairly new. Being that I try to post every buy and sell (and do it real time) you should be able to judge for yourself how successful it is as we move forward. >>>And when you get into a position, is it when you break 3 resistance points, then go either call or put automatic regardless of price? <<< B/T my pivot & break points is neutral territory. If I am not currently in a position I will wait until we either break ABOVE both of these points for a bull signal or BELOW both for a bear signal (with a confirm from the futures doing the same). >>> And what postions usually, current month or one + out? How many contracts?<<< I've been using current month. I usually go a couple of strikes out. I don't buy a certain number of contracts...I spend a specific amount of money. >>>Then once you are in the position, when are you out?<<< That's what I'm devoting the latest research towards. I'm trying to decide to if I should close after the index retreats back through 1 of the points or two of them. For instance, today I will close if my pivot point is broken. I think I will only allow one point to be broken and then I'll take profits. No need holding a position and HOPING it'll turn around when I get new signals almost everyday. >>> If it is possible could you post when you close a position and which you are closing?<<< I'll keep trying. This was a bad week but I almost always post my trades. Take care. Kevin
