Business as usual....

[It's Snake Pliskin]

I have indeed thought of this and tested many, many potential systems to date. So far, I have not been able to come up with a positive expectancy short system. As Wayne points out, the 0 at the bottom gets in the way. It doesn't mean I'll stop looking, but I haven't worked one out yet - hence my query re simply applying the one thing I do have that does work to other markets to even out my equity curve.

Michael,

Are you prepared to go discretionary then? I`m interested in how you respond considering you are a mechanical guy, what I gather anyway.

No, not at the moment. Mechanical and backtested very much suits my psychology in terms of allowing me to accept drawdown. I'd have some problems with discretionary at present.
