    Here is the screen shot of my simulations using the TradeStation platform. Basically I am experimenting with different Emini futures indexes with various logic to observe the daily result. The result shown here was the simulation taken on Oct 3, 2008. The bottom indicator of each sub window showed the gain/loss of each day for each index. Apparently there are some winners and losers and there are more work ahead for me to further improve my system. Thanks for viewing.

    What a month of October !! The intent of my trading systems supposed to work either in the up or down markets. But it just did not and all 4 indexes that I tracked here were down mostly the last two months. It tells me the algorithms that I used should not be continued. Here are the October results ...

    I felt fortunate that the recent erratic down markets did give a good test of my systems and it showed the strategy did not adjust accordingly and to be considered as unsuccessful. It prompted me to re-develop another similar strategy using different setup and parameters this week.

    I used the new strategy and tested on two indexes, ES (emini S&P) and EMD (emini Mid-cap). The results showed that this new strategy was able to adjust the current markets for the last 6 months. I know it will take another year or so to forward test it. But at least I am happy with the new results so far.

    At this point, I think I will make this Trading Journal into an inactive mode and revisit it in about 6 months or so and report my continuing development.

    Thanks for visiting and the next two posts are the results from the new strategy.
