Hi, I am also new to Sf is it possible to elaborate on the exit filter and how it should be set up , the way i'm doing it by placing it on slot named exit Trigger #1 is not triggering any exits unless i set up a Maximum days to hold or Profit Stop Percent but none by this filter .
Thanks
Gilbert
(set{exit1, count(close reached a new 10 day high,1)}
set{exit2, count(ROC(15,1) is below ROC(15,1) 10 day high,1)}
set{exit, exit1 * exit2}

Add "exit above 0.5" to your exitfilter.

Just a follow up - been on the road for work and did not get to enter the above trade - a good thing considering yesterday's session. I got into SSO at 61.50 around noon yesterday, thinking the the bottom was in. It wasn't, but by the end of the day four more divergence filters had triggered.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Ouch.
My thinking with this particular set of filters was that with such high win rates and Sharpe ratios, one can use leverage with a reasonable degree of confidence. I know that is still true, but I need to remind myself of that as I look at SSO currently trading at 54.80 (down close to 11%).

I still think the filters are awesome and it is no doubt prudent to use that 3% stop - saving 8% on the down side if the 61.50 SSO trade was entered - ouch yes if not.
Cheers

These filters do not employ any stops. You are probably thinking of the Stochastics %D crossover filter.

Kevin, I very much appreciate your posts. I can only wish that I had your knowledge. You are a rare breed, a man of integrity. You remind me a lot of the guys that I use to do business with in the 70's, a handshake was all that was needed. Once again, thanks for all the help and your willingness to help others.

We are near the limit of the max draw-down.
