Re: A Mechanical Strategy Journal

I realize now that Tradestation continuous contract information is faulty. I will re-start this thread as the calculations are off. this is already a useful journal as I would have had a faulty entry today if I had taken it. I have never traded mechanically before so this is all new to me.

nevertheless, trade information for the last completed contract (ESU07 -- the Sep futures) shows results very much in line with what I posted in this thread -- therefore the concept embedded in the strategy appears to be valid. Art Collins wrote the book in 2005 and the Sep 2007 futures show very nice results.

I will do a new journal with the December futures contract.
