If you have programming skills, you may want to back-test for a lengthy period. Not sure who your broker is, but TD Ameritrade has a tool (not well publicized) that you can use for free as a customer, that allows you to obtain intra-day data down to 1-min intervals. I forget how far back you...

Well, good luck with it - phenomenal win rates! Even if you only have to play only from the Long Side, a winning system is a winning system. I'd be interested to see how it does in a long-term down-trending market.

Thanks for your take and advice. IMO, low P/E's are a stat of the past and have little relevance in today's world, and I beg to differ on Inflation. Core CPI is a total joke - if you read my original post again, I have felt a 7-8% increase in prices over last year. Govt has been getting away...

I took profits about 6 months before the credit crisis hit (pat on back), but I've been sitting mostly in some 3-4 % CD's and some GIC's since then (yeah, missed large equity and bond run-ups, except for some VZ and AT&T stock I kept). The CD's have mostly matured this year, although some fall...

Have you backtested this system in larger timeframes, spanning down markets?

I am a conservative investor (always have been) and am looking to retire in the next 10 years. Realistically, I will need an ROI of at least 5% per year over the next 10 years on my non-real estate investments to achieve this dream, even assuming today's current rate of inflation. I am...

This is awesome. Governor Cuomo also allocated an additional $ 35 MM to Stony Brook University as well. This is a phenomenal University on Long Island, that is getting better and better by the year (and it's affordable !). I should know - I am an alum, and my wife, and 2 of my children attend...

Yes, my point exactly.

The 2 most common mistakes when backtesting (and I speak from experience) is "slippage" and "accidental forward testing". I remember when I started backtesting with WealthLab years ago, I came up with "unbeatable" trading strategies, only to find out that I was actually forward testing by...

Oh, yeah, ToS will be the end-all, be-all, product. NOT ! Someone way up the chain made a HUGE investment in ToS. It is a cumbersome, unwieldly tool, IMO. I will never use it, and am seriously thinking about pulling all my 401K money out of TD Ameritrade, because of that lousy decision to go...

R.I.P QT - one of the great charting packages of our lifetime. Supposedly, going EOL shortly, I was told. Well, I hope Jerry got a good pile of cash for selling out, at least - he deserves that. ToS is crap IMO, and extremely non-intuitive to use. I have had a lot of trouble porting QT...

From what I've been told, TD Ameritrade is going EOL on every single one of their platforms except ToS, which will allegedly incorporate all the features of their great apps (cough, cough.....). That means that the following will be going EOL shortly: Medved QuoteTracker, Advanced Analyzer...

Come on guys, get real. The world is saved one day & the world economy is growing. The next day we're talking about deep recession and the worldwide contagion epidemic. And back and forth, back and forth we go, on almost a daily basis. The "news" is no longer a long-term phenomenon; it is...

Yeah, so glad that the World's Financial problems were solved in the last 2 days. From recession to ebullience.....in less than a week. Oh, Happy Days !

All the World's Economic problems have been solved in less than 2 days. We're going to see a 500 point jump today by close. Oh, Happy Days. We've gone from Recession to Ebullient Bull Market in a matter of Days. Debt worries ? What are they ? Just keep kicking the can, and the market will...

Oh, Happy Days ! The World has been saved, with more kick-the-can-down-the-road problem solving. Major run on the markets tomorrow. The bubble inflates even further.

http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/europe-crisis-may-end-violent-blow-galbraith-161311592.html?sec=topStories&pos=main&asset=&ccode= Yet, the markets keep ascending, as if it has blinders on. Again, total disconnect between our markets, and the inevitable. It really boggles the...

OK, Jerry, thanks, and I certainly understand your position. Best of luck always - great product and superlative support, is always what made you stand out from the pack !

Jerry, not to hijack the thread, but are you at liberty to discuss the EOL timeline for QT, or any other related news ? Thanks in advance. P.S. QT is still the best damn charting package out there !!!!

Here's another well-regarded program at Stony Brook University in NY: http://www.ams.sunysb.edu/QF/QFHome.shtml
