What is AFL code used in?

Nice system. I'll trade it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

You're all wrong and I'm right. Refute that! No seriously, why do politically charged, not economics type threads keep getting posted in the economics forum? Copernicus, can't you read and understand English? Please stop polluting the Economics forum.

Holy Grail? Hrmph!!! My holy sock puppet did at least as well as your "grail" did today. PS how does pink lemonade taste in your grail, and how do you keep ahead of the leaks?

Wow! My little thread made it on the radar of the infamous MrJohnGalt, troll extraordinaire? I'm thrilled. :D Puhleeeze share your wisdom O knowing one!

Though not exactly on the topic of manual testing, the discussion of the relevance of old data to current situations brought to mind the issue of volatility. It seems to me that one of the biggest reasons why systems do better at some times than at other times has to do with volatility. This is...

Questions like these are just stupid nit picking. Why does a reporter waste the nation's time by asking a dumb question like this on live TV? Nobody cares about this except those who would try to gain political advantage from criticizing - er "raising questions" about "important issues."

Just for the record, none of my praise of manual backtesting should be taken to mean that I've abandoned automated or computerized backtesting. I think I've just gained a slightly better perspective on how the whole process fits together. Everything has its place and proper order. Prophet and a...

With fully manual backtesting you eliminate the code layer. Your programming ability does not come into play. All that exists is the base ruleset for entries and exits compared with what is actually going on on the price data. Presuming that you have an analytical mind capable of understanding...

I will just start out by saying that manual backtesting has been a very rewarding exercise for me, but I should have started doing this a long time ago. I have always been the type of person who tries to automate everything to avoid doing repetitive tasks that can just as easily be performed by...

I'd like to start a thread on manual backtesting. To start things off let me ask a few questions to get some discussion going. Do you find manual backtesting useful, and if so what are some of the ways this has been helpful? What is the best way you have found to do manual backtesting...

Bush is a good ole boy, and if a good ole boy likes you then it doesn't matter how much you screw up, you are still in. Why Bush likes Tenet is anyone's guess.

Here are Microsoft's instructions for disabling third-party extensions. What Microsoft fails to say is that this is the common way that adware installs itself on your system, and the reason why it keeps coming back on every restart of internet explorer...
