Steve >>>>>But let's talk the theory of what I was doing and see where it falls apart. I learned all too many years ago not to argue with another mans theories. Especially if they were well reasoned and thought out. But, if I had to respond I'd simply say, IMHO, in the real world, "That Dog Don't Hunt" How about this: Set up a spreadsheet (or a piece of paper) Put aside a set $ amount for these types of trades. Keep an exact count of the number of times you try this methodology. Count the # of times it clicks as planned ie, how many times you fill (calc the %) Track the total # of win/loss trades on the fills and the end $ gain/loss as a % of your equity for these trades Next weekend let us know the result in #'s and %, not $'s as that is your personal business. I really enjoy these kinds of exercises; trying different approaches is how one fine tunes their trading. Best of luck to you.
