Introduction
• After 30 years of trading and research, Sunny
Harris has developed many strategies both for
herself and for clients.
• More important than developing the strategies,
Sunny has developed testing methodologies that
have stood the test of time, and have become the
defacto standard in the trading community. In this
webinar Sunny will share some of her more
important testing strategies, and reveal some of the
tricks advertisers use to lure unsuspecting buyers
with backtesting.

2: Percentages
• If you are interested in futures trading, or if you have a
large equity account and want to trade it on margin,
you’ll want to know about percentages.
• If your equity account is backed by another account or
by a cash instrument, your broker may let you use that
cash value to leverage your equity account. You will
need to be able to figure percentages if you use
margin for your equity account.
• If the stock price goes up to $25 (and we’ll ignore
commission for this exercise), what percentage profit
have you made on your investment? We figure this
on the cash outlay, not on the total account value.
Thus, you would have made a $5 profit per share on
1,000 shares with a $10,000 investment.
• That’s ( 5 * 1,000 )/10,000 = 5,000/10,000 = 5/10 = ½
or 50%. Wow!

2: Ratios & Proportions
• Formally, a ratio is the comparison by division of two
quantities expressed in the same units. That just
means that first of all, you can’t compare apples and
oranges. But, secondly that you divide one number by
the other to get a ratio. Why bother, when you could
just have easily stayed with percentages? Sometimes
ratios present the information to you more visually.
For instance, if you have a system where the ratio of
wins to losses is 4, you know right away that on
average each win will be 4 times as large as each
loss. Sure, you could have said you had a system
where each win was 400% of each loss, but it just
doesn’t ring as intuitively.

3. CHARTING TECHNIQUES
• Introduction
• Technical vs Fundamental Analysis
• What Is Your Goal?
• Specific Techniques
• Q1: 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, 30-min, 60-min,
daily charts Print Out – Mark the Technical Analysis patterns you see on each of the charts.
– Mark Support and Resistance on each of the charts
– Go back to TradeStation and put 3 different moving averages on each
chart:
• Simple
• Exponential
• Weighted
24

3. Charting Techniques
• Q1 Continued:
– Then make notes of the differences between
the averages. Which one is more accurate?
– Does the more accurate average have any
disadvantages you can see?
– Mark the “perfect” entries and exits on each
chart
– Calculate the potential profit and loss from
each of the ideal trades on each chart

3. Charting Techniques
• Q2: – Let’s go with the 15-minute chart for now, of the same
symbol you chose above.
– Print out charts for each of the following types of bars:
– Standard OHLC bar chart
– Candlesticks
– Point & Figure
– Line Chart
Line charts require only closing prices to plot, whereas Candlesticks require all
four pieces of pricing information--open, high, low, and close. And as their
names imply, Equivolume or Candlevolume incorporate volume into the price
plot. These last two kinds of chart are not available in TradeStation unless you
purchase a special indicator to display them. I have just such an indicator, called
SunnyBars, if you are interested. Check the Products page of
www.moneymentor.com to take a look at SunnyBars and how volume is
incorporated into the width of each bar.

3: Support & Resistance
• Support is the level under current
market price where buyers come in and
cause prices to cease falling. Buyers
see the support level as a good price at
which to purchase (a good deal).
• Resistance is the level at which the
market is too expensive. Resistance is
the price level above current market
price where buyers hesitate to buy. At
this level selling pressure overcomes
buying pressure.

3: Channels
• Channels are formed when prices go
back and forth between loosely defined
price points. I say “loosely defined”
because in real life the channels are
not so clear to see. They tend to break
tops and bottoms and then return to the
channel anyway. And they are often
not horizontal, but are curved or
sloping.

3: Attractors
• I coined my own term for areas where
price tends to come back to with
relative frequency. I call these areas
ATTRACTORS. Attractors can be
formed by moving averages, by
support and resistance, by channels,
etc.
