I will never update until I absolutely have to. 9.5 is fine for now. Just can’t trade blindly. You have to Make sure the programs are cooperating. I was just curious if anyone has had this exact thing happen where orders are sent when clicking the chart. Maybe it only occurs after restarting TS and not refreshing the chart. I will test this out.
9.5 is what I will keep for now. Until I get a laptop and can test 10.0 out. Ultimately I want a computer specifically for testing and one for trading live. Right now I do both on my desktop I built.
I just watched Andrea Unger video of how to trade energies
sum up his video with this:
CL responds well to trend following and counter trend strategies.
RB and HO are good for intraday breakout and trend following systems
NG is good for mean reverting counter trend strategy
Thanks. This confirms my recent study of these four, specifically. RB and HO seem to work well with the same strategies. Is this video available to the general public? I would like to watch.
Awesome, thank you very much! I have wanted to read his book for a while, but it is written in Italian and my Italian is pretty rough. I see that Wiley is publishing an English language translation slated for publication next year, and according to the reviews, the first part of it is geared towards system traders. I've pre-ordered, but probably won't see it until June.

I can see how walkforward testing is great for intraday systems, and theoretically should yield the same results no matter how you do it. The problem comes when you start using walkforward testing on swing systems. How do you treat an open trade at the end of the walkforward period? If you close it at the end of the period you might get different optimization results than if you close it when the system would close it. Another issue with walkforward is trade count. They less trades you have in each walkforward period the less significant the results are. I have a tendency to develop systems that have low trade counts - and the resulting walkforward results are extremely unstable.
Well he also wrote this Beating the Financial Futures Market: 2017 Almanac
which updates the results of the original strategies. While not all terrible most of the strategies no longer work as they used to but I think all did make money over the 11 year period between the original and the Almanac.
