When you back adjust you want the properties of the price series to remain the same. The method you've settled for changes the volatility of the data. There is a reason splicing with backwards price adjustment is preferred. You won't run into negative prices on SIFs and a number of other...

Surf, you yourself have a site that push RSI as the "miracle indicator" and tout bollinger bands for the timing of entries and the usefulness of moving averages for trend following. Why isn't that hogwash, and by the way, isn't that stealth vendoring tactics from your side?

You still didn't answer why you've picked the "ratio historic back-adjust" method. What benefits does it have for you over the more commonly chosen "backward price adjustment" method, and more importantly, what are the drawbacks? For example, there will be less volatility in your adjusted...

Cornix has repeatedly stated that this thread is about his PnL resulting from TA trading and not about the actual signals/patterns themselves.

That does not make sense. What back adjusting method of the four different ones in the posted PDF are you going to use, and why?

:D :D He's actually even more stealth vendory than that. Nice to see you back, I was about to post a "desperately seeking Sus... erh... NoDoji"-ad.

If you need continuous data you have several choices. Did you try google? http://www.tradingrecipes.com/files/cntcontr.pdf Each method has it's strengths and weaknesses. You need to know why you do what you do. Pick one and be happy. :p

The objective framework couldn't be applied to TA unless the TA under test was also formulated in an objective manner. I've posted this for you before - In Aronsons own words (p 450): "Perhaps the biggest deficiency of the case study was the failure to consider complex rules. This is a severe...

You often refer to Dave Aronson (obviously without having read the book yourself). How can he claim to test TA if it isn't objective? :p

How can we be sure Surf really is Surf? He said he'd leave, and so he did, and he is truly a man of his word. His ET account must have been hacked and is now in the hands of a Surf-poser. Or... maybe management is running the Surf account in an attempt to generate more content and page...

DB - nice to see you posting again. ET does need more quality content :p .

You know, wrbtrader has been trading profitably for a long time. He's been calling his trades live for anyone to see for almost 9 years now. So I guess you're a bit off with that remark. :p

Surf, seriously, why do you keep posting blatant lies? The only thing that happens is you lose credibility.

This is so funny. Cornix trades live in his chat room every day for everyone to see. Free and open to anyone, no strings. Why don't you just pay him a visit for ... erh... lets say, 50 days in a row and then you have all the "evidence" you need. :p PS: I have no idea as to why he does...

hear hear :)

NoDoji (and a few others): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220303&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 It's the only thread you need. :p

The first time in an upswing that there is a bar that has a low below the low of the prior bar, that bar is labeled L1 (Low 1). Examples are Bars 5 and 41 in “First shift.” The next occurrence is an L2, such as Bars 7, 28 and 45. Bar 38 is an H1 and Bar 15 is an H2. source...

Good thing there isn't such a thing as survivorship bias in the surf journals. Nice trade :) .

Thank you Maestro. I'll have to ponder your response for a while. And I'm looking forward to the upcoming posts.
