    Effeciency of an Auto Strategy

    Some questions: How did you calculate the averaging result for adjusting some spike performance (as the 85% could be mainly due to spikes, if sample size is small), how many parameters for the averaging performance (as too many parameters could make the 85% not very robust), how many...

    Here's a free (but risky) donut from me: I can only place 2 cents this bet, as this model could be practically very wrong relatively to many more experienced and knowlegeble traders. I consider myself should be too old to do this kind of formal analysis, but anyway here is my trial. dV =...

    My 2 cents: Probably, basically you would never get the right answers you want (based on what I guess) by repeating the same (misleading) question above, it is simply because the question (and its assertions) itself is problematic. First at all, you have established a model of a trading...
