Thanks for the good point. According to Wilder, "the most important index to use for a trend-following system is the ADXR; however, generally the most money is made in the shortest period of time when the stock or commodity is volatile." Actually, he also suggestd to use his Commodity...

Kaufman in his book "Trading systems and methods" provides some interesting numbers and charts to analyse various types of pyramid methods together with informative risk/ reward ratio and equity curve. Jones' "The trading game" also analyses it with example data. :confused:
