Below are the parameters used by the VSTpro long exploration of the ASX 300 and ASX 300 Material Sector stocks.
The only change made to these parametrs during the tests was to switch the Market Trend Filter [ON] or [OFF].
All the parameters in the 4 indicators are adjustable.
VSTpro X Long (bands) MTF Type: [1] [1] Sharp Band Spread: [3.5] [3.5] atr (6.3%) | VSTpro X Long SmartStop Stop Status: [1] [0] Enabled |
VSTpro X Long Profit Trade Leverage: [1.0] [1] | VSTpro X Long Risk Max Risk Target: [30.0] [30] % |
ASX 300 Median stats.
The data tested will be both the ASX300, and the top performing sector within the index.
To establish the sector performance the URSC toolkit v3.0 was used to create the chart above.
The chart shows the Materials sector (XMJ) performing best.
The XMJ has about 77 stocks in the ASX300 making up approximately 25% of the index.
To find the best performing sectors internet sites similar to this may help…….
This post is the first in a series looking at Pullback trading using the VSTpro.
After testing many systems and indicators, the VSTpro results showed most performed poorly, and required discretionary intervention to save the trade.
Indicators and systems can fool the user into believing good profits can be had, but in reality the signal you see on the chart today may disappear as the chart goes forward.
This type of indicator is known as “forward referencing”. An example of this is shown on the Equis forum. Note the post by “henry1224” and the results in the commentary windows of his two charts.

The data tested will be the ASX300 and the best performing sector.
Entry signals will be generated by the VST indicator bands (close cross below MidLine). Exit signals will result from the SmartStop being triggered.
Different “Transaction” costs (brokerage) will be tested, and the results could surprise.
This blog has been created to store my charts and comments, as I use the VST to test entry/exit systems.
