Re: [RT] Tweak a system??????

["Sean Cassidy" <scassidy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is this the exact code....remember I dont know easy 
language...I inhereited the system but it has worked very well. The reason I 
want to do this is to invrease the winning percentage. It is currently about 43% 
for the Naz and 51% for the S&P. Good given the magnitude of the 
winners....but still psychologically hard to take the next trade after 5 
consecutive losers.........

  I like statements that go
  If Close - pivot > 0 look for buys
  If Close - Pivot < 0 look for sells
  I made each thing into a function and call it for the buy and sell 
  conditions.
  I use this as a qualifier for a lot of different things , seemed like an 
  easy solution at the time ,
  
  I am not an easy language whiz 
  , but this still is the best thing I can think of to solve 
  the problem and it still works for me.

    Dont you just love that 
    word....tweak?
     
    I have been usning a system to daytade both the 
    e mini s&p and e mini nasdaq that works very well but I would like to 
    enhance it a little. It works well but I would like to increase the winning 
    percentage by ony initiating a long above the pivot (previous days 
    high+low+close/3) or a short below the pivot. I would also like the system 
    to tell me what the system would of had me trade....then ignoring it if it 
    does not meet these criteria for initiating a new position. In english this 
    would be: only enter the sytems long trades above the pivot, and only 
    initiate short trades below the pivot. Obviously i can just ignore these in 
    my mind.....but I want to be able to backtest this to see if it would 
    help....or hurt. I am using tradestation 6. Any advice would help....I do 
    not know easy language.
