I will try and find a public web site. Trading is at the close. You know the signal a day in advance so one can simply put a MOC order in or try and get a better fill during the day, with the risk of a contrary move at the actual close. I suspect over time following the system with the MOC order is best. I could increase the slippage factor perhaps, there is a $20 fixed amount now which should be adequate for e-mini MOC...? I do trade futures now and and plan to start trading the systems (e-mini and mini bonds) positionally soon. At the moment I am starting to use them to guide my short option strategy, e.g. when it says long I short an OTM SP put option. For this strategy I don't want a lot of trades, so the timing is good. Historically my entrance with short OTM options hasn't been optimal, but I have made money because of the time factor.
