This is the second article in the series of trading the Bullish and Bearish Engulfing candle stick patterns. Following on from Part I, we will actually perform some backtests using the results we found in Part I. In Part I, we split up the analysis for long and short trades separately.

  • MA: the number of ticks to average the bid/ask spread over.  The default is set to 30 ticks
  • showTickCount: a boolean flag, which when set t…

A favorite investment technique that has been publicized widely is trend-following.  Everybody has heard of the Turtle Traders, a group of novices trained by Richard Dennis in the art of channel-breakouts, a system developed decades earlier by Richard Donchian. In this article we will look at the current performance of trend-following in the Western futures markets, and see if we can’t find better performance in other markets.  As previous mentor of mine always said: it’s not so much ab…
