As author of the post on Tharp's Mastermind Forum, that Al requested
to also be posted here, I feel it's appropiate to let Tomasz know who
is commenting on his work and product. And, yes, since I strongly
believe in this AmiBroker (AB) platform, AND ESPECIALLY in Tomasz's
professional and diligent efforts, I am more than happy to readily
promote AB wherever I feel it may do some 'good'.
Further, in all fairness to Van Tharp and HIS forum, I think it would
also be appropriate to hereby share the URL where IT resides. A
'literal GOLDMINE' of info exists there that complements all the 'good
stuff' on this AB forum. THAT forum primarily deals with
position-sizing ('exposure') issues and psychological issues, but
there are many, many other posts as well concerning trading strategies
and systems. The URL is:
"http://mastermindforum.com/phorum/list.php?f=9";.
Tomasz undoubtedly already knows how much he is appreciated, but it
never hurts to again give praise to a valued person who most assuredly
deserves it, whether that praise is in the form of a personal
compliment OR 'word-of-mouth' promotion of his EXCEPTIONALLY-FLEXIBLE,
HIGHEST QUALITY product!! (;->)

permission from the author. The post was in response to a thread on
Turtle sizing, which digressed to trading software. If the author
wishes to identify himself, I'll let him do that. TJ, you are getting
very well known in lots of circles. We are all appreciative of your
efforts and technical assistance.
