Signal Testing
All trade setups and results are based on the Futures Trading Secrets Methodology. This test shows an individual in the market continuously and reversing positions on each setup. This table shows what can be extracted from the market on this time frame on a daily basis.All trading scenarios show what could be achieved on perfect setups and perfect entry and exits.
Traders are not perfect, and slippage, commissions and trader emotions may yield different results. Average Points per trade on all the signal triggers were developed by our approach on a 74 tick time frame during the week of August 3-8, 2004.
The market has become less volatile in the past year and thus oscillates around a smaller node so most moves are smaller. Your trading may vary based on time frame and willingness to take all generated signals.
