The forward test of the last 2 years or so, did not agree with your bactest results. Do you want to take a guess as to which EQ curve it did agree with? Do you want to guess what conditions it used??? Here's a hint... The EQ curve of the forward tes was positive and in several cases, the 2 year forward test results were better than the positive EQ curve of the backtest using portfolios with conditions recommended by the original author of both the document and wealthlab code you used.

Put it this way if a trader had the experience or the promised tool from spydy to avoid chop, I suspect attempting to put trendline frame work over index movement might work if you are displined and get filled. However, this would be on longer term charts.
But, that is the very trick of trading. Distinguishing the times when your framework works from when it doesn't.
So far I have seen nothing of any edge value from any Hershey dude.
If spydertrader really has a chop tool which allow us to know ahead of time when we can buy pullbacks vs when we fade thrusts, I will name my mansion after him.

LOL... The forward test went both ways mon ami (ie. no bias). That means you go long on the 0->7 and short on the 3->4... Having conditions like high octane stocks do well regardless of the market type... Call it a "conditional edge" if you will that works in all market conditions.
All that sound and fury about NOT predicting, then Jack admits that he does last night:
"I trade in a perticular category where I am a parasite and I elected to front run the smart money and I deal in a manner that is anticipatory as a consequence."
