Re: Our 15-min (Day Trade) Benchmark Performance

Thanks,

The profit objective is always 1.4 times risk, so the stop determines the exit. Multiple contracts are always traded so you have the option of letting a portion of the profit run. For the sake of simplicity for the benchmark however I kept the exit the same for both contracts.

Very simple method -- buy dips in up-trends and sell rallies in down-trends / it's a one page trading plan-- which took years to put together and refine. Very difficult for the computer to imitate I've been told.

It is very prescriptive, yet the hardest part for most people in trading it is in forgetting everything else they thought they knew and just following the trading plan. It also helps if you don't take money too seriously.
