Sure: I have documented 47 closed positions so far. "One position" being (a), (b), etc. in the trade documentation above, i.e. one trade is usually two positions. Overall profit is +23.27 R, i.e. an average of 0.50 R per trade/position.
I haven't been very thorough when it comes to taking every signal, though, which is something I plan to do when going real-money. Plus, I need to do some backtests on more exotic markets before trading them (which I haven't done so far). Point and Figure is a great concept, but I don't have a convenient way to include it into my trading. As for indices, I'm mainly looking at swing charts now.

Second, my swing trading strategy for stocks did not prove too successful. I have written about that earlier: it’s a lot of hassle to screen for good setups, and stuff that looks good visually might not work all that well. So, I’m going to trade a small basket of stocks in an Al-Brooks-way. The goal is to get profitable, and finally implement this strategy with the same stocks using options.
