This
may come as a shocker to you....but I don't even know whether the market today
is bear, bull or flat :-) frankly: i don't care. Also i have no clue as
where the market is going... I don't care here either. Of course the reason is
that I don't think much about these market qualities is because i have never
been able to quantify them to my satisfaction. I do know that the systems I like
best sail through major up-and-downs without a hiccup, I love that
quality. Good oscillator systems tend to do that on a small selection of
stocks.

One
may note that in many systems the only relevant data is recent data, perhaps
5-20 bars; anything farther back cannot have any effect on your signals, so
you don't really have to worry about it. Same goes forward.... many of us would
love to know where the market is going (Buy-n-Holders?) but for the active
trader anything ahead by more than a few bars is immaterial. If your system
doesn't respond within a few bars you'll be losing money. So really, that
removes 99% of your data history from your current trading concerns: you
have just removed 99% of your worries :-) of course during development things
are different.

Also,
if my system has any price following characteristics, here i mean that the
equity curve looks similar to a scaled-up price chart, I discard
it. It means that the system can not deal with both Bull and Bear
situations satisfactory.
