I've spent a lot of time on pullback buying systems and so I feel sure you have a mistake somewhere in your code. It's not that easy to design one that works consistently across bull/bear markets and surely not with the results you mention. g

Something is wrong. I went back and read your first post in this thread. If what you state there is true, you'd be crazy NOT to trade this system. But, no offense, I do not believe the system results can be accurate. If you are tossing the system and not worried about it, post the...

That's a very short real time test. Does your system trade both long and short? g

The other thing to be very careful about is friction costs. In a system like this, they could be significant. I would suggest testing your system in something more versatile than Metastock. TechnifilterPlus is great for testing as long as you are doing EOD. WealthLab is another good tool...

You've hit on my worst bad habit. Impatience, nervous energy and the resulting desire to trade whether it makes sense of not. I try to automate my entries and exits as much as possible. Then, I still have the problem of not intervening and screwing things up. It's so hard to just leave...

Metastock still has a POS system tester. It is a very dangerous thing for people not well-grounded in system development. g

Sounds like a f**k up, but I don't see that this leads to any huge conspiracy. But that is what a lot of people are trying to turn it into. g

Interesting comments. There is great injustice in the world. Life if not fair. Lots of guilty people go free, but NOT with this kind of overwhelming evidence. If you really look at the phsyical and circumstantial evidence that was amassed against OJ, it is mind-boggling that the jury found...

I disagree. Give me your sources. I can look at the left leaning media and the right leaning media and don't find support for wild conspiracy allegations. Not to say that there can't be some stunning suprises, but right now I see no reason to expect anything like that. g

Wrong! "Not guilty" is not at all the same thing as 'innocent'. The court doesn't find you 'innocent'. And no matter what the idiotic jury decided, it was clear to any rational human mind that OJ was guilty. g

That's a hoot! There is no meat there, but then that's the point. Conspiracy kooks don't need any meat at all. They create this stuff out of thin air. g

Didn't some crazy conspiracy theory book about 9/11 make the best seller list in France? Bizarre. g

Of course that's not whacky. What is whacky? All the people who seriously believe that the US govt. staged the whole thing, or that some Jewish conspiracy did. That is genuine whackiness. g

They are everywhere. Some people will believe anything...the wackier it is, it seems, the more eager they are to swallow the lies whole. I actually know people who really believe that OJ Simpson was innocent. If you can believe that, in the face of the evidence (overwhelming as an adjective...

For me it is "none of the above". My systems have high win/loss ratios and about breakeven on $win/$loss. So I have nice steady gains punctuated by occasionial painful DD's. g

Brandon, I can't be there. Any chance a transcript could be provided? gs

My remark about the poor was not thought out well...it did sound like I was dumping on the poor. That wasn't the intent. I understand there are reasons for the poor often having large families. Some of those reasons make 'sense', others are not really all that rational, eg, following the...

Believe me it is not the poor, per se, that I am worried about. It is overpopulation, a problem we seem to be absolutely incapable of coming to grips with. I'm just as pissed off at the well-to-do Mormons and others who are reproducing at a ridiculous rate. Unfortunately, the arguments...

FWIW and it may not be worth much, I say trade the distressed. This is my method and it rocks...as long as you can take the occasional big DD. g

Interesting thoughts OHLC. I see this, too. Many people now thinking they can't have families (there are other reasons besides economic, but it's important, too) or postponing until they are further along in life. Frightening, though, how those at the lowest economic rungs reproduce without...
