Dimitris,
 
The reason why you get so good results isthe 
one
I mentioned already sometime ago:
you set unrealistic entry/exit settings -buy on 
day's low
and sell on day's high. 
 
To prove it: p<FONT face=Tahoma 
size=2>lease modify your selling formula to:
 
sell = buy; /* sell on the same bar as you buy 
*/
 
and your system will be winning no 
matter
what is a buy formula with buying day lowand 
selling day's high!
 
You can go further buy on low and sell onhigh 
everyday -  
This "system" generates 45272.59 % during281 days 
on DJIA stocks
without ANY optimization.
 
Great ? Not really - it is just an effectof 
unrealistic settings.

Subject: [amibroker] The peculiar 
System

I wrote yesterday that this system is strange.
One behavior never met before is the following:
I scan with the exposed buy/sell 
conditions
Buy=Cross<FONT 
color=#000000>(C2,C1);Sell=Cross<FONT 
color=#000000>(C1,C2);
The best % Net profit was +391% and all the 
120 combinations
from optimization were profitable.
Then I inverse buy/sell with sell/buy, 
ie
Sell=Cross<FONT 
color=#000000>(C2,C1);Buy=Cross<FONT 
color=#000000>(C1,C2);
The best % net profit was 88.4% (!!) and the 
half of the 120 combinations
were profitable, if for a period 
of
two years you were making mistakes all the 
time (32 trades).
It is not easy to explain this 
property.
