    More on APS and out_of_sample testing

    Tradingpatterns was in business I think for about 9 - 10 years. I bought APS about 3 - 4 years ago; I don't even remember when exactly, time flies. It was recommended to me by a friend who bought some pattern code from the company back in 2001 or 2000 in a trade show. I think this is a fair...

    Trading System Lab

    No, that is not what APS does. I have no time to explain what it does. I have been using this program for the last past 3 years and it has hepled me a lot. I wonder why Mr. Harris discontinued it. I will try to contact him and find out more details about that. Great program.
