That's a great idea but I did not record that information for this test. I'm going to start another round of testing and I'm going to include time. I'm also going to track each trade - not simply a daily summary.

I asked b/c you mentioned this is more or less a trend system and we know the market does not trend nearly as much as it chops; but, if moves are going to occur that are trending in nature, most occur in the AM and possibly continue into the PM. Maybe you'll find that focusing on the first couple hours and then hitting the off button could yield better results.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I plan to set up some chart to test this idea.

You might try the euro as being a better trending product. I conclude Universal is not profitable enough for the equity indices.
