Since Kevin probably won't self-promote himself, interested readers may like to know that he just did an interview/podcast over at Better System Trader focused on his latest book on entries and exits.
Bars on Kagi, Point & Figure, Renko, and Line Break charts, bars do not form until prices have moved a certain amount. For this reason, when back-testing, it is possible to know the direction of the bar, and to guarantee that the bar is of a certain size, before initiating a trade. To illustrate this effect, the following strategy can be placed on a P&F, Renko or Line Break Chart and will show 100% profitability in back-testing:
Sell short next bar low stop ;
Buy to cover this bar close ;
Buy next bar high stop ;
Sell this bar close ;

As I understand, the code above can provide a reliable backtest but which code should be used in a *live* strategy? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
