Well said..! Backtesting is NOT a research tool,

Stay as you are,with your head and mind buried in sand....thats good for you and good for the rest of us....!! And keep cursing and whining... because thats how you feel good..!! Ed Seykota: A losing trader can do little to transform himself into a winning trader. A losing trader is not going...
