TICK Pullback
TICK Pullback E-mini Nasdaq is a long only trading system that uses real time data on one minute charts from the NYSE TICK ($TICK) to make trading decisions. The latest version breaks the day up into a morning session and afternoon session to take trades while avoiding taking trades during the middle of the day.
This strategy uses a stop loss and end of day exit with a long list of optional exits that could also be used and implement to customize the strategy exits. The goal of this strategy is to capture a trend early that lasts until the close or to capture an end of day rally.
AT 2022 E-mini Nasdaq is typically included in one of our portfolios.
The subscription is a closed code annual subscription and is available in the Tradestation and Multicharts platforms.

The time based inputs are based on EST. These inputs will need to be adjusted for the timezone of your computer based on its difference from EST. For example, if your computer is on CST, then LongStartTime should be 845 instead of 945 since CST is one hour earlier than EST.
The stop loss and profit targets are based on a per contract basis. If the cntrcts increases, the dollar amounts for stop loss or profit target do not need to also increase since the stop loss is calculated on a per contract basis.
A stop loss first bar and a profit target first bar are required when having different stop losses for longs and shorts.
