8 Day Extended Runs

Inspired by Linda Bradford Raschke.

Strategy suited to the US T-note (ZN1!) with a t-test of 4.06.

The 5 day SMA is vital to Linda’s trend identification system. She’s done extensive testing and research using this indicator and has built models based on it. Linda used the 5 day SMA to determine that large outlier price moves happen in the direction of the trend in each market about 9-10 times per year. The powerful part about that number is that when the trend does persist, it can go on a long run, making this a trade with a high expected value.

Note: the current exit criteria is sell 10 days after entry, users should experiment with different stop placements.
