'BTD Index' generated an Entry Signal for Tuesday's Close, 7/7/2009.

The last trade from this model was just just a few weeks ago, and turned out well generating a new high for the Equity Curve.

Here are some of the model's Performance Statistics:

• Model Tracking Vehicle=NDX
• Start Date=11/1/1985
• Number of Trades=120
• Average Trade Return=1.67%
• Average Winning Trade Return=2.71%
• Average Losing Trade Return=-2.51%
• Win Rate=80%
• Ratio of Average Win/Average Loss (RAWAL)=1.08
• Profit Factor=4.33

The Average Winning Trade is just a bit more than the Average Losing Trade, but this model generates 80% winners.

Disclosure: Long NQU09.

Disclosure: The performance results shown above are for Model analysis purposes and do not include commission or slippage. The model is built on data from the NDX, but I trade the model with the NQ e-mini. Actual trading results from the NQ usually differ from the model results of the NDX, with the NQ showing somewhat weaker performance data. Nonetheless, I still trade this model with the NQ and when executed according to the plan, it has generated consistent profitability for me.
