Good point you made. Win loss ratio too high because > 50% means data is curve fit to the phase the sample data is representing. When the market rotates( which I am quite sure you know about, W.D. :D :cool: ), amiga is a dead duck. Ten years is a market rotation point, along with 5, 30, and 3...

1. win rate too high 2. not enough data 3. too many trades 4. win loss ratio too low

Mr. Market, there are some on this board who have made 40% since september, on 5 money streams, with no capital infusions.

Backtest this all the way to the beginning of emini data. ( In TS in is 1/4/99. See if you get 75% on the entire frame. I suspect that you have not run this strategy back far enough. Regards Oddi

I downloaded the trial too, just because of the hoopla. Once I figured out that I have to find my own data, I just as quickly wiped it clean. There is no comparison between WLD and TS in my opinion.

How do you know that it tends to pay off? What are your backtest numbers? Regards Oddi

The imput here has helped me to explain the consistent anamoly that I get with every system I write and backtest. What I keep getting is that this year show lower profits than any of the five years prior. This seems to happen regardless of the system I run. I now know that it is not an...

Thank you. And I did not read Wealth of Nations, but I did read Road to Surfdom. Socialism is a bad idea, period. Those parts of our nation that are socialistic suffer according in relation to other aspects of our nation. Regards Oddi

I am trying to find info on market volatility. Can someone point me in the right direction, or simply tell me whether volatility this year is down as opposed to 2002-1998? Regards Oddi

I depends on the type of system and the cyclical behavior of your particular market, do you have any parameters?

Vlad, I don't normally highjack threads, but I have to STRONGLY assert that socialism is a failed attempt to equalize things that cannot be brought into equilibrium, namely, human potential. Can you cite ONE example where this has even romotely worked in ANY non-agricultural society in ANY...

Good call! An example of how more less can be more. This rediculously simple method makes money over time. There are better methods of course. Do you have any curves?

Here is a contribution:) I'm gonna be rich soon!:D

Since no one has ever started a thread about equity curves, I thought I would.:D Now, what would you look for in an equity curve? Do they even matter? Post the best equity and/or worst equity curve you have even seen or made. Let's see what we can learn.:cool: Regards Oddi

Yep, the traderkays of the world are full on one thing....ENVY. If you don't give them the handout that they won't work for, they start whining, it's their nature.

Dude, you're zero7??? I'm listening to simple things right now:D :cool:

The systems I have tested paradoxically had nearly the same win/loss as it's mirror. Most of the time, your system will not work because you are on the wrong time frame, or your stops are too tight. Regards Oddi

Well, that suks:( I am sure tradestation will fix this, ASAP:)

Thank you very much bob and cathy.:) Are you talking about 7.1 or the upcoming 7.2?
