Hi Ammeo,

 

Yes, they are working for me.

 

However, I am currently in a drawdown, which is part of the business.

 

I will post performance figures after 6 months of trading. Currently, I have posted less than 2 months of trading. So, you have to be patient

 

Please keep in mind that I do not scalp, but keep positions longer. So, anything less than 6 months of performance are not a large enough sample size to draw any conclusions (one year would be even better). This is of course different, for instance, for a method which produces 15 or more signals each day. But this is not what I am doing here.

 

Regards,

k
