what saw all those Dax stops get hit at low of day jsut now and it dropped 10 pts in 2 seconds. lol

i'm not confused. are you? you still don't seem to get it. seems to me like you're changing the definition of expectancy to suit your argument. you said earlier that you did not think it's possible that two systems can have the same profit factor and have different expectancies. i gave...

upload your code to their servers? if your strategy makes consistent money or is economically beneficial to them in a meaningful way, i bet you a million dollars they will look at it.

let me guess. is this Chapman Capital? they've been gathering gathering resumes for years.

actually i should revise my last sentence. if two systems have the same number of trades and same profit factor, the one with the higher expectancy is better.

if two systems have the same number of trades every month, the one with the higher profit factor will be more consistent in terms of having at least a positive pnl every month. however, the size of the pnl depends on expectancy. a 1.5 pf system can have a higher expectancy than a 2.5 pf...

how do you artfully move the money between the two funds?

these kinds of discretionary decisions make all the difference. i'm afraid we will never be able to learn and be in sync with what npp is doing.

ww_nyc, What is the flawed CCIAvg plotting? I don't understand your post.

would you mind trying? it should only take a minute. if the two match TS8.1 then there is definitely a bug in TS2000i.

ww_nyc, when you use the two versions of my code in TS 8.1, do you get matching indicators?

why doesn't this concern you? are you going to make any modifications? it looks like there's a bug with TS2000i in the way it plots the 30 min average.
