I added my ATR based trailing stop to MarketTurbulence.com yesterday. I provided the RealCode along with the chart so you can play with the conditions if you like. A reader was kind enough to send some real data from Arps’ Trender so I could directly compare the two. While it seems that there are some differences in the actual values of the stop points, most of my Trailer indicator buy and sell signals match up pretty well with Arps’ Trender. I will post the actual charts later.
Wow, doesn’t it feel good to be in cash on a day like today. I covered my CTAS short yesterday and I’m starting to turn bullish now.
In the meantime, I was working on my ATR trailing stop (I’ve named it “Trailer”) and made some improvements. Check it out, and see how it compares to Jan Arps Trender. I’m sure that if you saw how simple my code was you would be absolutely shocked that people actually pay $299.95 for the Arps indicator.
We had some action today. Good, things were getting a little dull.
In the meantime, I came up with a new ATR based trailing stop. The indicator was inspired by a visual inspection of Jan Arps’ trender. I did a quick “breakout and trailing stop” backtest using the Nasdaq 100 and got some pretty good results.
I love it when two simple rules give such nice returns.
