Another thing we can safely say about Big Trends/Price Headly;
if he did err, like us & IBD the error may be on the overwork , over research rather than laziness
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Generally a book like his gives one the best risk/reward ratio;
some rich points so to speak also came thru Active Trader April 2001
a] 10 year test of the old [different] VIX /OEX strategy;
course the past doesnt promise the future on this
b]Long & short test on 1 contract OEX @$104.89, time1-2--1990-1-16-2001; dont have time to check if included slippage & commissions , =482%, on maximum of 1 contract.
c-d] A few discretionary comments;
probably be less % gain if more than 1 contract traded- invested,
34% profitable, all trades
max intraday drawdown=100%,
may or may not have real time 100%max intraday drawdown.
Wisdom is the principle thing.
