<span
>using SetForeign
means that the trade signals won't come from the price of the current stock,
but from the NDX. you should do what you've done, replace the symbol in that
call with whatever the NASDAQ composite index is on your system. before you did
that, the call had no effect, and signals were derived from the stocks you
tested themselves. not a bad thing to investigate anyway...

DT:  I find this quite interesting after plotting and backtesing

of stocks and watchlists.

I do not understand .... " All signals are
based on ^NDX chart."

I do not understand the use of the SetForeign
command and what it does
in this context.  I comment it out and
nothing changes.  

Errrrrr.....I just changed "^NDX" to my
index symbol "NDX-X" and the
returns tripled......Errrrrr......Why??

This was attractive when I was using it
incorrectly, and now it is even
better.

How do you come up with these things???????

Thanks for any further explanation.

Ken

The main purpose was to show the use of inflection
points.
The results are not bad, if you consider it is a
TTM [Trade The 
Market] system. All signals are based on ^NDX
chart. 
This approach [and the successful behavior of the
majority] gives a 
good reason to use ^NDX as a trading platform.
The comparison with B&H is also good to me.
We didn't decide on Jan1 to Buy & Hold, as far
as I remember !!
We mainly decided to trade a cloudy market with
very sad bearish 
memories. When I was searching, last spring, for
prolonged uptrend 
indications, the request was a bit funny, many
traders were waiting 
another bearish episode and *nobody* would trust a
B&H strategy.The 
other useful result of this study is the
transformation of Price 
directly into an oscillation [without the indirect
methods like RSI, 
Stochastics etc]. Give me some time, the project
is ready, but it 
needs the bloody writing time !!
Thank you for your comments.
