Check your hit and run code, you may be missing some signals  because of the ADX
> 30 statement in 1234 set ups try using >= or <= , and are you missing one type
of signal. I changed the 1234 set up a little after I posted my code originally.
If your using the code I posted these are the revisions, in the system, and
ShowMe's.

  {**********1-2-3-4'sLong*********}
 If ADX(14) >= 30 and DMIPlus(14) > DMIMinus(14) then begin
 If  Low < Low[1] and Low[1] <= Low[2] and Low[2] <= Low[3] or Low[2] >= Low[3] 
 Then buy ("1234Long")  High + .125 stop; 
 ExitLong ("Stop1234") from entry ("1234Long") At$ Low[1] - .0625  stop;

 {*****************************1-2-3-4's Short***************************}
 If ADX(14) >= 30 and DMIMinus(14) > DMIPlus(14) then begin
 If High > High[1] and High[1] >=  High[2] and High[2] >= High[3] or High[2] <=
High[3]             then Sell ("1234Short") low - .125 stop;
 ExitShort ("Stop1234Short") from entry ("1234Short") At$ High[1]  + .0625 
stop; 

These are the ShowMe's

{*************************************1-2-3-4's Long***************************}
 If ADX(14) >= 30 and DMIPlus(14) > DMIMinus(14) and Low < Low[1] and Low[1] 
                    <= Low[2] and Low[2] <= Low[3] or Low[2] >= Low[3]  then
begin
         plot1 (Low,"1234Long");
 
 If checkalert then alert = true;

 end;



{*****************************1-2-3-4's Short***************************}
 
If ADX(14) >= 30 and DMIMinus(14) > DMIPlus(14) and High > High[1] and High[1]
>= High[2]
  and High[2] >= High[3] or High[2] <= High[3] then begin
 plot1 (High,"1234Short");

 If checkalert then alert = true;

 end;

How many stocks are you scanning?  I scan through about 1500 every night for
Hit and Run setups as well and sometimes I miss some too.  However, I don't
worry about it too much because I usually get enough to make a living.  I
realize I have missed some when I happen to check a stock I like and there is
not a signal given yet it meets the criteria.

This is one of the reasons I do not use TS for live trading, just to give me
the setup.  I think the missed setups is probably another of those problems
with TS.

BTW, which setups do you find the most profitable?  I would like to hear your
feedback.  Have you used these long and have you used the setups from the
second book?
