50% Annual Returns

Quote from lindq:

Sorry to splash any cold water on this thread or this system, but these average gains are nothing to write home about given the extreme strength of the market over the posting period and the holding period of the trades. The S&P itself has been up over 6% since 8/1.

It will be more interesting to see what this system does when the market pulls back or returns to a trading range.

Alpha is trading a long short book,and IMHO he will be very fortunate/talented to acheive returns of 15% or more....

I don't know if the long portfolio can get to 50% a year, but so far i've been pretty impressed. More winners than losers and bigger winners/smaller losers.

Good job so far!!
