What Makes the $$ Entry, Exit or Money Management?


In this presentation Mark Kelly, CATA’s President, will go through the ins and outs of backtesting the Elder Impulse System using bullish setups. He will look at how different entry, exit and money management criteria affect the overall profit and win/loss ratio. He will also show how different selection criteria can have a large result to your bottom line. Using Amibroker, Mark will show the results as the software optimizes different versions of the same system.

Mark is the author of the book – Dating the Stock Market – 10 Key Mindsets You Need to Excel as a Trader available on Amazon.
