Hi Thierry,

Thank you for your e-mail and the formula you have sent.
As for ultimate trading system I am afraid that you will
not find the system that fits all people, all exchanges and
working all the time.
My biggest concern is that everyone has different risk tolerance
and drawdowns acceptable by one person are completely
not acceptable by another.
Choosing the system needs individual approach.

But... it is a great idea to exchange thoughts, developments
and system ideas so everyone can tune them into his/her
own trading style. So thanks again for sharing.

BTW: the idea of a separate forum for AFL is still alive. 
Will come back to this issue after launching v3.6 (with improved
docs)

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
