Since I published quite a few settings in the past weeks, I decided to go back to these and see what happened, in terms of trade direction, entry price level and trade outcome.

The First Table only shows the Long on a pullback or the shorts on a bounce type of trades.
We can see that 3 trades ended on a gain and three on a loss.
However, the most important is that we missed the entry on a great majority of the trades, simply because the settings are too tight. This means that we should enter trades faster, since the direction was correct 80% of the time.

The table below shows four short settings on a breakdown and four long settings on a breakout.
None of the four breakdown settings were initiated because the stock reversed up. This tends to tell us that the market has been in a short squeeze mode. In other words, we cannot press short trades, but we need to think of buying very oversold stocks.

I tried to publish followup comments and Figures on past trade ideas, but did not have the courage to do that for all of them.
