My system works just fine during last 5 years, including the bear market. However it doesn't produce good results when I run it during 1990-1998. Does it really matter that my backtesting doesn't work far back, but works during last 5 years and has over 500 trades? Anybody had similar...

When going with the long term trend do you guys find it's better to buy breakouts or wait for pullbacks?

Does AIQ systems have historical fundamental data?

I didn't stop trading my system because it wasn't performing , I just wasn't trading at all last two days, I was sick. And also I noticed that over last 2 years my system had maximum 5 winning trades in a row. And it just had 5 winning trades last two days. That's why I'm thinking now if I...

why? can you explain?

I have this dilemma: last 2 days I wasn't trading but when I checked my system it performed very well and had a lot of winning trades. Do I just keep trading it tomorrow or wait till my system generates couple of losses. I feel like even though I am the one who developed my system I have a hard...

I just asked a general question to get an idea if anybody trading systems with high win/loss ratio. Don't want to complicate things in this post...

What is the win/loss ratio of the system that you guys trading? I'm trying different things and usually get 40% win/loss with 3:1 profit factor. I was wondering how many trade 60%+ win/loss or higher profit factor.

Did you ever think that this system might use % of capital on every trade and keeps compounding? So if you lose 20% in the beginning it'll be only $4000 vs when you have 60,000 then 20% would be 12,000?

What drawdown % is normal? is 20% too high?

Thanks for all your comments BUT anybody can tell me if these results too good to be true or it can be done? :confused:

where can I buy more intraday data?

It trades UP to 5000 shares. (I should read my own posts carefully ...)

It trades 5000 shares on 4 min data. what do you think about it based on information you have?

It's a fresh screen performed at eod and each morning and there are about 10 that qualify, could be less of course. As far as 100K - I agree with you, you definetly need to have enough cash, what i was saying is that since it's for day-trading purpose with one entry and one exit it...

It has no more then 10 open positions, and trades any stock that fits certain criteria in the morning. Also, I don't think you can trade this system with more then 100K because slippage will be too high. But it's good for generating some cash...

System trades stocks only. There are 4 parameters (I don't know if it's a lot or not). Not much optimization, I just wrote a code based on what I see happening in the markets, tried to keep it simple.

thanks robbob I tested on intraday data, and because I only have intraday data for last 6 months I can't test it in 2001-2002. Slippage and commissions are included. This specific system is long only. any other comments?

Attached are the results for my system for time period April 2005-October 2005, day-trades only, no overnight positions. Is this a good system or am I missing something?

Thank you, I didn't know Wealthlab can do the job... How long back TC2000 has earnings, sales, etc. data?
