Re: Best of the Worst

A random entry has a high probability of catching one point as long as you are prepared to risk enough to get it - a 20 point stop should make it a pretty high probability. If you are prepared to do a bit of data mining you could hone in on an entry that has statistical significance. Certain stuff has a tendency to happen at certain times. Stuff happens at previous days highs lows closes mid points. Its not hard to come up with a reasonably robust strategy to catch a point while only risking a similar amount. The first suggestions was the easy option.
