Thanx Aaron. So you recommend to test on 1-minute resolution. Does anybody have some experience with DAX tickdata backtesting? dax futures have much less ticks than SP, NQ... DT-waw

Hi everybody I wonder how fast TS works with large amount of data. 1) How much time it takes to load 1 year of ES-mini tick data into TS on your computer? ( please specify your config., CPU, memory) 2) How much time it takes to test day-trading system with 3-5 parameters with 1-year of...

Good question dozu. I also want to know what is your system's ( not only day trading systems on eminis ) best profit factor? Please add information about # of trades. - it's easy to have PF=2.5 with only 8 trades... DT-waw

"You realise that what you are effectively asking (on probably the most well known public trading post room) is how do I take money off you guys? Come and play me at poker sometime and I will "teach" you." Maybe I will stop posting here on ET... Funster : your advice is: don't use TS...

Funster: "Ultimately by it's very nature most people will lose" Yes. But it doesn't mean that I will lose. I want to find an edge and use it to take money from other traders. There's no guarantee I will succeed. Running a website, doing seminars - I agree - it's good to have another source...

dottom, this is <b>great</b>! If we cannot calculate "Edge" ( expected outcome ) and luck factor, then we will rely on luck... Why casinos set maximum bets? Because even in a positive expectancy games there's a chance of bankruptcy. Casinos have an edge over gamblers. But it doesn't mean...

Yeah, dozu but what can happen if someday majority of money in the market will be traded by automatic systems, not by humans?

dottom: Of course, it's recommended to test systems on many non-correlated markets. It's difficult to find out - whether my trading results come from skill or luck? Trading is not a game with known probabilities. In games like roulette, where there're no positive expectancy systems your...

Sorry - after doing a post preview my attached filed wasn't attached.

There’s a serious possibility, that majority of trader’s results come from the luck factor only. Here’s a interesting simulation I’ve made. Let’s say we have 200 traders, each of them trades ES futures with a simple “system” – close every position at 5 point gain or 5 point...
