Murray ,
Do not feel shy about admitting who you are on your site, instead of pretending to be selling a Turtle system written by Ruggiero.
Before I go any futher you should fix your crummy web site to work better.
Next don't pretend to not know what I was asking when I asked you for the following:
The expectancy of the systems that you are hawking.
The trading metrics.
The R distribution.
In the event you are ignorant of the meaning of the above terminology, then people should not be conned into buying your system ( case of blind leading the blind ).
Nobody wants to know the innerworkings of your blackbox system but we do want you to prove it is a profitable system before we hand over any money to any more snake oil salesmen.
First my handle on ET is Murray Ruggiero so your comment about me being shy about admitting who I am is very funny.
In terms of TradersStudio and selling my systems, TradersStudio has a group of people working for it. It's not just me. We have a support staff as well as 4 full time programmers in addition to having me designing and managing the development of the product. I have a marketing deal with TradersStudio for selling my tools and systems.
In terms of the Turtle system ,I say it's not the "Turtle system per say"; I call it SuperTurtle, which is mine. SuperTurtle is very robust relative to other channel breakout systems because the channel lengths are set based on the current dominant cycle. This methodology has a long history; I invented it in 1995 and published it in Futures Magazine. Future Truth has even show that this original system is still profitable, 12 years later!
First, I did not see anyone in this thread ask me about R distribution. No I did not run it, I have my own tests of robustness based on the optimization parameter space. In addition you can also run analysis removing the 3X sigma trades both winning and losing trades and the run the analysis on the remaining results.
In the case of SuperTurtle since it was a composite of my adaptive breakout, profitable after 12 years and the Turtle system still working after 20 years I did not think I needed to run this extra analysis. I guess based on results so far I was correct since the system is so highly ranked since release.
My question is how do you prove your system will make money in the Future. The best bet I know is to base your system on a strong premise and run the statisical system I have developed during my 17 years in this industry.
