I'm not familiar with Windows Movie Maker, but in my one experience with Camtasia it was simple to use with a good end product.

Gary,
 
Janitor "Steve" gawked a few Monet's last week.  As they say in some parts of the country: "I don't know much, but I know what I like."  Up close, the Monet's are sweet.    Actually, I was more in awe of the Renoir (The Luncheon of the Boating Party) and the three Klee's.  
 
My question is about Camtasia.  Is it a vast improve over Windows Movie Maker?  Do you use the program?  If not, do you know of anyone who is using it?
 
Take care,
 
Steve

Mark,
 
I think the main problem I am having is that you are light years ahead of my systems analysis, and with my rather inexperienced eyes I am having difficulty seeing the value-added of going through such a rigorous process.
 
I'm getting my arms around sensitivity analysis (by the way, I have the 3D excel sheet working if any have questions), and have played with some MCS spreadsheets to give me some worst case scenarios.  I walk away from this process with a sense of how sensitive my params will be to change in the markets (hopefully not much == smooth curve), and a worst case scenario via MCS.  FWIW, my MCS analysis ends up in the ballpark of Fred's suggestion of halving CAR and doubling MAR.  
 
It's kind of like asking the security guard at the art gallery to critique a Monet painting.  He'll appreciate it on a superficial level, but his lack of experience prevents much more.
 
This is probably A LOT more than you care to do, but to carry Fred's point a step further would be a screen cam movie where you walk through the whole process from start to finish.  You can download Camtasia and use the 30day free trial.  That way, we security guards can learn how to better interpret the artwork, but doing it in a manner that isn't piece-meal and allows learning for future new users.  Again, probably a lot more work than you care to put in, and I don't blame you for the wages we are paying you : )
 
Kind Regards,

Mark,I seem to be participating more than most which I at least find to be a little strange.  One of the probs for some will be the need to find and install a decent MCS product.  Some won't want to spend the $, some won't want to spend the time etc.  By the way Alex Matulich has a product in this area for I think about $37 that midgt fill the bill for those who are interested but don't want to go for a more in depth product.Beyond that though as I stated at the beginning, I have no particular interest in the last couple of steps you outlined i.e. publication and real account trading.In my case I can't even say that I have a great data vendor for stocks because as I've stated previously I don't really trade stocks.That aside for a minute, I have suggestion which may be a little off the wall but
 I'll put it out there any way.  Since you've obviously been doing this for some time, how 'bout starting the group off with a little system that although you might consider to be robust even if only marginally is also something that you don't actually use for trading any more.  This would at least allow some to go through the process with something that at least sort of works so they can proceed from there.Just an idea ...Fred--- In amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "quanttrader714" <quanttrader714@xxxx> wrote:> Now that I've posted the criteria, I feel we've had some good> discussions but frankly don't see enough interest out there to provide> the effort it would take to refine the criteria or even use as is,> develop some robust systems, write a trading plan, iron the bugs out> in simulated trading and then trade in real time with real money.  I'm> actually surprised
