With concern to the trend following strategy, I have honestly a hard time to set my mind, as my chart reading is used to counter trends, it is more difficult for me to analyze 2 methods at the same time. Nevertheless I am currently making some tests based on vwap and MTF ema's, I decided to not publish the results for 2 reasons:
1) Data results are not consistent yet
2) Don't want to mix things with the Italian Job method

A quick note to inform that I am not posting anymore on a daily basis, as mentioned at the beginning of the thread, the 60 days trades have passed and all the topics have been covered. This thread started as a teaching method but it soon became a realtime journal for my trades, it is now much more usefull for myself. futures.io (formerly BMT) is a perfect instrument and place for such kind of activity, I encourage everyone to follow with her/his personal realtime journal.
I will post again but occasionally to cover new aspects and keep my journal updated.

Today's Ecofin's meeting is really special, it is not a good day for countertrend trades, it is on days like this that you can blow your account with this method, hopefully this scenario doesn't happen often.

1) 5 min 20 periods (red)
2) 15 min 20 periods (white)
3) 30 min 20 periods (green)
The setup is based on a specific crossing of the three emas, long when the hungarian flag is set (red,white,green) and short when the italian flag is set (green,white,red). Thinking the setup in terms of flags is easier for my mind to visualize the correct plot.
This is just an entry setup, the management of the trade as the targets and stops must be set manually according to PA and S/R.

As usual there are many false signals, during chop times, and stops must be wide enough to hold traps. I feel confortable with this system, altough my mind is setup for countertrades and it is always difficult to go in the opposite direction.

The test is over 23 months Jan2010-Dec2011 and these are the results:
Condition 1) was met 77 times:
-R5 was hit 29%
-R4 was hit 55% (R4+R5 = 84%)
-Failed to hit R4 16%
Condition 2) was met 72 times:
-S5 was hit 52%
-S4 was hit 38% (S4+S5=90%)
-Failed to hit S4 10%
I started this test as I noticed that yesterday ES retraced after hitting the Camarilla S5

Based on the results of the test there is enough material to go in both direction, trend following or countertrend. This is the starting point, everything must be mixed according to PA and considering the Risk Reward over the positions of the Camarilla Pivots related to the position of the emas' crossing.
