It’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Are you seriously this stupid?

SPM is a joke. A bunch of people fooled by randomness, suckering themselves into believing this nonsense can make you money in the long run. Take trades flipping coins and you will have nice long winning streaks. Be unlucky enough to start using the coin flipping method right at the start...

"However, I've always been under the impression that slippage doesn't make a huge deal when backtesting equities." Wow, just wow. :eek:
