It is not rocket science to me, maybe to others. I just play with the data, throw out the "outliers", data where a small change in parameter makes a big change in outcome, etc. Try to find the sweet spot, the parameters for the system that seem best, that suit my trading requirements. Then I put...

Always remember this: If you think negative you will get negative results. But if you think positive you will get negative results. Max

The 3D graphing is not absolutely necessary for evaluating a system but it really makes it a lot easier and serves to educate the viewer to the possibilities. Mathematically speaking it is totally clever. There used to be a free one but I can't find it anymore, RINA systems has one. Max

I don't. I backtest / optimize with Tradestation and export all the results from the optimization to Excel. You could backtest and optimize with Excel if you want to write all the VBA code, I tried it at one point, too much work, too many gotchas. Max

I take all the optimization results into Excel and just look at it all, sort it different ways until you get a feel for the "good spot". Three D graphing is great too, it will keep you out of the area of optimization where the system is hugely successful but only based on a few winners, you...

There is a math oriented guy that has a system based on nothing but Stochastics at: http://www.stockspredic.com Max

Ok Harry. I want you to work with me on this. Close your eyes, imagine you are at the Beach. It is a beautiful day, you are sitting in a shaded cave looking out, people are playing and enjoying, the birds sound great. You are feeling really good, not a worry in the world. Repeat Max's mantra "I...

There is a lot "under construction" areas on your site, maybe you should work on that stuff for awhile. Max

I just saw "A Man Apart" with Vin Diesel. Was it just me or was that a great movie? I saw good performances by Diesel and most of the crew, the script had a lot of classic aspects; a little mysticism ("nobody can kill el Diablo"), a little of the cliched but still interesting situation of "cop...

If they are set up right. Worthy of some backtesting time for sure. Max

I think the funniest indicator is the balance of power or BOP. It tells you whether the buyers or sellers are prevailing.... exactly the same thing the price tells you!! It was published in TASC a while back, I never tried to find out if it was a joke or maybe the author was serious. Max

It was the policy of the Clinton Admin to cover up stuff like that, to not give the terrorists any credit for what they did. Meanwhile they had the PLO working in the White House on some trivial stuff basically. I think they were just trying to get some cooperation and show the terrorists that...

People are getting dumber. The educational decline goes back measureably to the 1920's. Workers in the US are getting a steady decline in lifestyle as well, there are no Communists courting their loyalty anymore or organizing labor, the workers matter less. And think about this; you know how...

So rich people hang out with rich people, who would you expect them to pal around with? A lot of their plans don't work out. The Trilateral thing was to have Japan as an equal to Europe and the US, Japan has been in a decline for a couple of decades, possibly no end in sight. Most...

The newest ver of Qcharts has a float turnover channel, I can't figure out how to interpret it yet. Max

Ohh.... that hurt. Ok I'm over it. Later

After this guy finds out that morons can't make it trading he will be hacking us to find our systems and passwords!!

California!! Max

I was just thinking about how both the left and the right use crisis to gain power. The war on drugs is from the "drug crisis", the takeover and control (and subsequent utter mismanagement) of land is from the "Environmental crisis", the socialism is from the "Economic crisis" and then it...

I use a heck of a good free screener but I'm not going to tell what it is. It could be a scanner that you are really after, I don't know of a good free one but I know of a fairly good cheap one. I'm not sharing that either. Later Max
