So, how did you backtest it to see how it would perform over many trades? Stop me if you'd rather not give details. I trade a long term breakout system as well, not based on N day breakouts, but on volatility. You're not telling me anything I haven't heard already about trends. I'm not a...

Right, not much rain. Just thinking that a storm may be brewing. Just thinking about your position sizing: at 4000 shares... what was your intial stop value? And how did you go about setting parameters in a backtest to capture just those breakouts from flat bases?

billprittjr, not to rain on your parade, but have you backtested this? It doesn't backtest very well over a longer term from what I see. Here's the criteria I used, based on your posts here and on other forums: Nazdaq stocks with strong IBD rankings; if 60 day EMA volume triples and...

When it comes to publicly admitting to self-fellatio, everyone knows Ron Jeremy is the bigger man. Literally.

Yep. He spins his answers and never really answers the real question asked. His last few posts were typical spins. Those that weren't spins were denials, the rest were put-downs. It's his idea of "having fun with ET members".

It's titled, "Ungarbled Gorb", and here's the review: $19.95 might cover the first book which is the lexicon series, but the "simplified" part promises to spring several sequels that leave readers just as confused as when they started. The first sequel, "Waiting For Grob", a mystery, revolves...
