I think everyone was that been trading as long as I have, they were the start of forums and there was another one called CTCR? I think? I have bought much through the years, I use to spend like $10k a year to see how other people's stuff was and then friends sharing with me of crap they bought, and 90% of it is crap. OMG, so much optimized crap, LOL I remember someone was selling something for $25k and next year you could buy it for cost of postage stamp, LOL. Very few things were any good, Daycare by Vilar Kelly and Duffy-although he might of been 90s, Robert Miner, Precter's newsletter...good old days, markets were better back then. Crap like Essex, LOL you had to buy the data from their black box, you put on a trade today and if it lost, tomorrow it didn't show it was a trade, ROFLMAO

Would you be willing to post a couple of your better backtests to give a flavor of what's possible out there? Thanks.
There is so much in the TG section of your post that I use as the bases for a number of systems & set-ups. There is a thread here entitled "Why is the obvious not obvious" or something like that. I have no idea what that thread is or is not about, but as to the sentiment, that list in the TG section of your post sure makes me wonder why the obvious is not obvious to more folks than it is. Then again, I spent the better part of ten years turning first one then another "blind eye" toward the obvious.
Considering the amount of money I have spent buying so much and years of back testing and to continue to monitor, ......no.
Everything is easier said than done in trading, the majority of things or lessons is rather in the gray area...as opposed to either flat out black or white.
