S&P 500 Index Futures - Result (If Go Live Since 2009)

                           
Since only one person actually did the live test and post the answer after about a week, I might as well give you all the simple answer.

Anonymous is correct, if we use the same strategy and trade live since the beginning of this year (2009), we would have a profit of USD 3,877.50 (trading only 1 contract each time).  Out of 25 trades made, 16 or 64% is profitable with an average trade or expectancy of USD 155.10 and a profit factor of 1.53.  Not fantastic but not too bad either.

Here's the screen for the beginning of the year:





And here's the latest trade until yesterday 5th Nov 2009:

  8. Mike, I am glad u like my blog. I enjoyed writing it as well. I personally don't have any preference for BB, as long as I have confidence in the indicator, I will use it. Every market has it's own characteristics, therefore different indicator with different parameters are needed. Having said that, if you know how to find the optimal parameter for BB, it is quite good as a volatility breakout trend following indicator.
