Note:  Most tests/studies here are done going long using Future Indices.  This is done for several reasons; so you can easily compare different studies/tests, and because of the high correlation of these Indices to other instruments. The Daily IQ is typically an End of Day analysis without stops/targets.  You can use Discover to test/study other potential trades with numerous stop/target values.  You can make comments below.
