Exit was calculated (by spreadsheet) as 35% of channel + 2 day EMA of lows.

Entry was calculated as price which would give .7 R/R with exit at 37.35 and stop at 38.08.

Whichever gives greatest R/R, standard bite or .7 R/R.

If over 10 trades we get 70% wins at an average of .7 R/R per winning trade, and -1.0 for each losing trade, this gives us (.7x7)-(3x1)=1.9 expectancy for 10 trades or .19 per each trade. This works out to about 100% return per year if we use a constant position size of 2% of equity and average one trade per day (takes about 4 stocks in our "toolbox" to do this). Breakeven is about 60% wins.

UPDATE: 10:00 am est HOD SO FAR WAS 37.60, ...

UPDATE: 16:00 EST Did not trigger, never reached 37.65

We did not have the other three stocks in our toolbox "online" today. Just this one.

A note on trending:

The trend signal was on, (MACD-H tick down, 10 day ema sloping down) We could have adjusted our entry and exit further down in the channel because of this "trending" action. We did not do it here because we don't have a formal rule for this yet. (have played with using 20% of channel instead of 35% of channel for delta when we have "trending on" condition which seems to work well but no extensive test has been done for this.)
