Fully mechanical system

I am certainly not here trying to defend somebody trying to sell some system, but your statement above is begging for a reply. How is a 28% return 'not that great' if you don't consider the risk taken at all? Isn't a certain return only good/bad when set into proper perspective with the amount of risk taken? A 28% return with a low level of volatility and a low drawdown can be an excellent result!

Oh I forgot, I am on ET. Everybody here is making 500% a quarter with zero risk.

A quick scan throught the monthly returns show risk in excess of 20%, that's not taking into consideration the drawdown during a particular month. The returns have some quite large swings as well.

I didn't see anyone mention 500% a quarter, if that's your target then I think you probably need to rethink it and get back to reality
