Thanks for the comment. To answer your question, I did not really examine which breakout length was best. The main reason is because the right length to use would be determined later in the process, when I did walkforward testing. I’ll probably address this in a future article.

Thanks!

Thank you for publishing this research. I think the results are very helpful.

You tested your data with a very wide range of X values (breakout length) from 5 to 100. You have not reported on which were most profitable. Did your research indicate that longer or shorter breakout lengths were preferable?

Thanks for the comment, Alex. I am not certain I understand you. Can you please provide an example? Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. Overnight trading, by itself, has always been challenging, at least for me. I find the best results from trading both day and night together.

That is not a valid conclusion since you have not normalized the results. You are comparing apples and oranges here.

But as you shown with your results it’s not so easy like in swing trading. I really would like to come through something to add to my overnight trading. Have you got some ideas in which direction focus my research?
