+15 points on the Russell 2000 index futures

This week's SBV chart example is based on the 5-day SBV(20) Russell 2000 emini chart and this chart example is the continuation of the previous week's example where used the same chart's settings.

1 point on the index = $100 on 1 emini contract

Chart 1. Russell 2000 index futures.

In our trading example, we applied the following simple system which is based on our SBV Histogram:

Once the SBV Histogram has advanced above zero level (after having been below that level), we will enter a long position;
Once the SBV Histogram has fallen below a zero level (after having been above that level), we will enter a short position;
Close Position at the end of a trading session.
Do not open a new position if less than a half of our left to the market close.
