I have never tried any of the Trading Store apps. I think for a lot of them you might need Tradestation 9.5, and I am running 9.1...

Sure looks to me like it's trying to pick a directional bias from the previous day and just buys/holds all day until profit target is hit, it sure does endure a lot of pressure going against it and looks to close out at the end of day.

Wonder how quick someone could throw together something similar by say.... picking a negative bias if the day before was an up day (ie selling at open), the reverse on a down day.

Wasn't there a battle of the bots strat, somewhere way back, that would always buy on Mondays or something? Assuming that was when traders were all wanting to open positions. (I could be wrong, thought I saw a thread on it)

Have you tried it?

It is funny, the approach you mention is similar to an ES automated strat I've been running live for a few years now - it tries to get the direction right, and then holds until the end of the day if not stopped out.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

I have not tried the STAR ES but I got the performance report for it. It seems that the intraday dd is a bit too high.

Ahhh, another strategy immune to the realities of market slippage. Truly, that would be a Christmas gift for all of us...

A performance report doesn't really tell you anything, unless you know how the strategy was developed (or have complete and total trust in the developer that he/she didn't 'cheat'), you should only look at results you know, with certainty, has been created by running the strategy on out-of-sample data, and even then, if you don't know how the strategy was developed, you should be be very wary of committing money.

Very few people even think that "how the strategy was developed" is even important. Yet, it is critical.
