Breakout strategies look good as long as the breakouts taken are in the same direction which the market has gone. Two things I like to look at are does this make money on bearish breakouts and does this perform better than buy and hold.

The three articles seem reasonable enough. I’ll program up something similar to see if I can get anything anywhere near those back test results.

By “end of day” exit, do you mean the literal end of the day or the end of your segmented period? You said previously that you segmented from 9-11, 11 – 2, etc.

Also, it looks like you are only trading 24 to 65 times a year based on the results. Are the strategies correlated or complementary?

For example, does a breakout normally trigger on all your strategies at once or do they trigger on different days? If you run a portfolio, that would make the risk exponentially higher if they are all down on the same day.
