With a house you pay thousands in various fees, thus if you buy you have to be prepared to weather a downturn of a year or two. With stocks you can get in and out by paying a few dollars commission.

So true.

Yes, I was surprised. As I said all the data was from 1999, and many of the techniques that were highly profitable then no longer work, so what the % is now only the bigger brokers like IB really know (Hi DEf:) ) But even if it is now 10 or 15% that is still better odds than I had thought...

qcharts has 6 years. you can hook them into backtesting software.

It means litle to me because I saw your drawdown on some losing positions. Some you are still holding even though they are over 30% in the red. I can't trade like that so couldn't follow your calls. But if you can keep that winning streak it is impressive, especially if you do so during the...
