Hi Dale, just thought I would point out something that is kind of interesting that I noticed about the SI today. If you change your graph from candlesticks to a simple line chart and compare it to an ASI graph of the same data, it looks almost exactly alike... not sure if this is of any merit but I just thought I would bring it up.
I am (finally) almost ready to start trading the SI live. It's taken a while because there are 23 pairs I am setting up the spreadsheet for, and I am getting the data for the ASI from metatrader, and since I can't find a way to export indicator data to an excel spreadsheet, I am doing it manually, which is a bit tedious. Exporting price data is quite simple, but I don't even know if you can export indicator data, like psar or macd or asi. I am only going back as far as April 1 2008 though, so not as much work as it seems.
I had a question about your money management system. In the book he says to never margin more than 10% on one instrument, and never more than 60% total. Following these rules, you technically shouldn't have more than 6 trades open. This seems a bit too "aggressive" for me. In your last post, you said that your rules are to not margin more than 1.875% on one pair, and not more than 15% of your total margin for everything... so your lot sizes are quite small. Have you been able to keep up good monthly returns only using a max of 15%?
