I trade longer term mechanical trading systems exclusively on the ASX. I rarely look at daily charts and the systems are built using weekly timeframes. The information in this site is based on actual trades in real portfolios. I don't trade using margin or any sort of leverage. I mainly use Amibroker for system testing and trade monitoring. I am not selling anything. This is just a journal to record where I have been and, just maybe, where I am going.

JBH trade
This was a nice trade for the super fund. I exited 2 weeks back. When I buy the exit targets are set as shown by the upper and lower lines. I also use a lazy moving average. I only exit on the close which is why the system didn't exit earlier.
The system is designed for the ASX100 / ASX200 and whilst it doesn't give the sorts of returns as some other systems it is a nice system to trade. This trade returned around 43% plus dividends.

Hi Steve
Interesting chart.Without giving away the farm, what conditions are you using for entry in this JBH trade ?.It looks like somekind of volatility breakout ?
Rgds,
David
It uses a ROC trigger and bollinger band breakouts to trigger a buy signal. Nothing too complex. I didn't even bother with volume triggers.

Steve,
Thanks for the comments.I have been playing around with a system roughly based on your comments above and initial results look good on the ASX300 of late.
Cheers
David.
