Re: StoRSI: why not test prior to 2000?

["b519b" <b519b@xxxx>]

I have been away for a couple days and have come back to a multitude 
of posts testing a stochRSI formula on the QQQ starting January 
2000. Is there some reason for selecting that date for a start? I 
really hope there is because the formula tests very well after Jan 
1/2000 and EQUALLY POORLY before. 

By applying the formula to the ^NDX (which the QQQ is designed to 
track) allows one to test back 15+ years. Over that entire period, 
the formula has only "worked" for the past two years.

So, does any one know if there is a rational for restricting testing 
to 2000-2002?
