Uh..OH!! LOL
scrambleded, not sure what EA stands for, but if using TS, see CraigAudio's Buyzone Thread toward the end for strategy code to trade like this.
You might want to sim trade it as well to see if this method fits your personality and trading style.
Good trading,
Ken

I've coded the OP's original trading rules into TS and ran some testing. I've attached the equity curve and code for all to see. I'll let you all make your own judgements about the performance and validity of the code and backtests. I tested the profit target variable in the code and got the followi...

JayJay, Don't let others put limits on what you can achieve. You can make $500/wk by opening a futures trading account for $5-6K, trade 1 ES contract, and net 2 measly points per day ($50/point). Some places let you day trade emini's for $1000-1500 margin/contract(last time I checked), so with $5k, ...

$60 yesterday, $100 today. See that nice equity curve for Rimm above? Rimm didn't hit the price target on Tuesday. I closed out with a small loss, but if I held on to the end of the day(would have lost ~$250 or stuck with my 1.5% stop loss I would have lost about $160. I think the exit point is far ...
