Dear Tomasz,
I do not agree with your condition.
Buy and sell the same day is artificial and I do not know how did it
entered in the discussion.
To give a measure of random buy/sell, I split the whole period in 32
parts and make one trade per part.
So, I buy the first day and sell the last day of the 1/32 th of the
whole time. This means to me that buy/sell is equally distributed
accross the time interval.
Best Regards
Dimitris Tsokakis
