Universal Clone Does Well on Euro Currency Futures

Recommended Posts

I've been testing various ES and YM trading charts using the Universal Clone day trading software since the early summer of 2009. I've posted some of my results over the months and you can find those posts here:

 

Universal on YM 89-Tick Chart

Universal on YM 5-Minute Chart

Universal on ES 5-Minute Chart

 

In short, I've been unable to find a satisfactory chart using the stock index futures. Keep in mind I'm using the Universal Clone with static settings. I understand there are methods to trade the Universal Clone with a dynamic inputs however, I've yet to test this aspect. All tests again, revolve around static inputs. However, there is one chart that did perform well and that was the Euro Currency futures (EC).

 

In short, $11,000 in 45 days!

This was done with all out of sample data on live market data. I started testing this chart on October 19, 2009 and the results are below are through December 4th, 2009.

I know this is hardly a massive sample of trades. It only covers 45 days, but it's a promising start. Also, this system requires at least $30,000 in your account based on the daily risk of $800.

 

What I like is the average profit per trade is $45. This includes commissions but does not include slippage. However, many of the trades are executed with limit orders. I was surprised to see how well it worked and feel that my energy will be used to study the EC and other currency futures markets.

 

Would love to hear from others who have used the Universal or Universal Clone on the currency futures markets.

Love the R distribution graph :-), paints a picture like nothing else.

 

I found that systems I developed on the mini's markets worked much better on FX. Better risk rewards, less slippage as the ticks are smaller etc. The fact there isn't really a "close" to the session so your trades can run out their course is one of the benefits. Nasty time zone if you are US based though & want to grab the EU session which is pretty important.

How does this look on the CL oil contract? Just curious.

 

Good question. I have no idea at this time. I don't have access to CL nor do I have any chart settings. Gold would be another one to try.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
