I ran the same tests with the whole data available (since the beginning of published scores) and found out amazing results. GFIs1, you sir are a genius (or then some of the data is not correct)!
Number of trades: 148
Mean points per trade: +6.9 Standard deviation of trade: 32.0 points
Average winning trade: 31.7 points
Average losing trade: -20.6 points
Winning percentage: 52.0%
Risk/reward ratio: 1.54:1
I'm curious on one aspect, the spread this week (TT FIX feed from Velocity) barely managed to stay at 0.5 pips, ive seen it bounce around in the 1.0 points area (spread) and deviating from the last traded price by quite a bit.
Anybody else have this issue this week on the FDAX?
FGBL stayed stable as it usually does but dax was simply a disaster to scalp on m1 with the spread, with 5 point stopouts it really kills some of your positions =/
According to my observations more than 1 tick (0.5 points) bid/ask spread is quite normal on DAX because it's such a thinly traded market when compared to for example FESX or even FGBL. During Bernanke's speech it was quite normal to have bigger spreads due to market getting more volatile and less liquid thus potentially causing stop loss slippage.
You are right: "Today!!"
But normally (after the GFIs1 rules) after a US holiday a start into a new week
may be THE turning point..
Thus a exit (over all holiday over weekend trades) might get a better result by
exiting before US really starts moving. (At least we got some points over all;-) )
This time like GFIs1's Dax trading journal - as already seen on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) - a very different trading approach will be on track for testing reasons.
