"I will not speak again forStochastic 
RSI"
 
Thank God.  For those that are 
interested:
 
Me and the boyz (and grrls) covered our short 
positions (QQQ) on the opening yesterday.  In the worst market in recent 
memory, the system has now profited on ten out of the last eleven trades.  
The single loser was -.75, with the winners summing 27.16.  Profits since 
11/1/01 have exceeded the underlying price of the issue.  The approachis 
traded by many, with real money.  Nothing has been changed or tweaked for 
years.  Over the years, many forum members have received this formula by 
"politlely" asking for it (see formula section of website).  It continues 
to produce "out-of-sample" (and more importantly, in real 
accounts).
 
Again, the StoRSI is a tool to unlock profits in 
the QQQ.  Used with a simple 21 period SMA, it continues "ring the 
register".  It's hard to believe that anyone would "lobby" against an 
approach that continues to produce profits.  If anyone decides to risk 
capital on this issue (or others), one must decide on an approach and then 
actually implement it.  I do not have a new approach every week for this 
market.  This is the one and only approach I have ever posted for this 
trading vehicle.
 
I am convinced that there are hundreds andmaybe 
thousands of systems that will trade the Q's better.  This is just one, 
simple approach that has been "public" and that has not changed for years.  
I have nothing to hide and nothing to sell.  Please take the information 
and improve on it.
 
Take care,

Subject: [amibroker] Optimal solutions of 
the past and future profits

Last June 5, 2001, I posted to this list the Tushar Chande 
Stochastic RSI and my Stochastic CCI.
<A

I will not speak again for Stochastic RSI, we have seen a 
lot of details for this popular indicator, which
presents now an optimal solution [8-13-87] for QQQ, running 
at a +250% for the last 30 months.
Besides the difficult question of the selection of this 
[8-13-87] combination [although I read ...carefully
the messages, I have not seen any kind of 
explanation, serious or humorous, by the user of this 
combination]
I wrote that this +250% is not one of the best QQQ 
performances.
We have seen a lot of QQQ systems running between +500% and 
+600% or better.
I understand that it is not fair to compare different 
design approaches. It is very difficult for Stochastic RSI to
be competitive to D-ratio or RSIt or MeanRSI 
TTM.
So, let us compare the quite similar Stochastic RSI and 
Stochastic CCI.
Beginning from March 2000 till June 2001, there were 
two almost equal solutions for the respective
StochCCI system, [I follow symmetric triggering just for the 
comparison under equal terms, my personal opinion 
for symmetric triggering is analytically expressed inother 
postings]running at +303% and +302%, with 
equal # of 10 trades/9 winners/1 loser, as you may see 
in the StochCCI 1 gif <FONT 
size=2>.
You could select one of them or both of them.
Now, one year later, we may see the [7,13] at +405% and the 
[6,15] at +1199%.[StoCCI2 gif]
I do not believe that there were serious criteria on June 
2001 to select the [7,13] or the [6,15].
CCI differentiation is almost invisible, if you change the 
period from 6 to 7.
You surely need a magnifier to separate BuyLevel=13from 
BuyLevel=15 .
If we forget these details, a +1199% may sounds 
great.
It is up to you to decide if you prefer attractive 
calculations or positive trading techniques.
Anyway, if you are interested in this invividualistic 
trading style and if you prefer Stochastic oscillators, try
Stochastic CCI among the others. It is not popular but it is 
a bit smarter.
