I agree with you bandlab...The method has lost some of its initial charm...As rightly observed by Sunil, this is at best a scalping method in longer run. Otherwise as we have seen, it generates trades which end up breaking even and we loose a bit of trading costs. When I tried backtesting this method for the month of January 2009, it gave only -ve results. On the contrary, it has given positive trades in past few weeks.
Also, Pride has been absent for past 10-15 days....Had he been here, it would have been a lot easier for us to learn and adapt better to this method.
The role of TA is limited here. This is a very mechanical method and defines clear rules for entry and exits and thus TA would be of little help.
Regarding stocks, like Pride himself said, he has tested this method only on NF and nothing else.
Here is a small tweak that Sunil is working upon. But before you open the links, please note these things:
1) It is
NOT a system yet.We are trying to build something here.
2)This tweak will require GOOD knowledge of TA as it tried to combine 2 different system. So it is not going to be easy for newbies to trade it right away and a lot of learning wil be required.
3)Please dont post any queries/questions about this tweak on Sunil's thread. If we are able to devise a successful strategy, we will open a new thread for itself. Comments/suggestions are anyways welcome on this thread only. Sunil's thread is for a different purpose and I request all the fellow traders to observe the discipline.
