tweaks to improve my low anxiety mechanical method of trading hogs. I think I've briefly tested something similar to your suggestion, which seems to work very well with cattle and even the hogs if your willing to make $1 donations for surprises, unexpected, or wrong calculations. I don't have a problem with 1.00-1.50 risk for a longer term trade showing reversal potential.

For fishing which is most productive in choppy sideways trade with day trade intentions-----I have not come across anything with the same reliable consistency as my Fishing Guide if I stick to the rules which I can bend a little but too much or too often usually gets me in trouble. Of course a person has to be able to deal with slow, steady, unexciting growth and leaving some on the table a good number of times. I run across more guys that get so upset with leaving some on the table and it has a negative effect on their trading. My fishing tactics don't work worth a darn for consistency in other markets----it's hit and miss with more missing than hitting.

The reliable consistency factor is why I'm so addicted to Fishing the hog market. It does take patience waiting for the pond to set up. Sometimes there's no pond to start the day but one can open up an hour later.
