Hello Claud,
Don't get discouraged, there are some good systems and possibilities out
there!
Some people on this list have been trading systems for 20 years and many
have been using Amibroker for about five years, all these people wouldn't
been still doing this if they didn't get some worthwhile results. The
problem is not that you can't ever develop a really nice system but that you
can't do it overnight; it takes time and hard work. Most people who start
with technical trading of stocks expect quick riches. Any system that is
simple and works extremely well would be discovered by many and traded to
failure; it wouldn't last.
This forum is like a doctors office :-) if you have a healthy system and are
making a billion bucks, why would you still hang around here? Wouldn't you
rather be flying around the world in your Lear jet? To succeed you have to
think outside the box, try unconventional things; i would almost say that to
succeed you should not think like a trader ;-)
Good luck!
herman

Okay. After set this along with
SetTradeDelays( 1, 1, 1, 1 ); //open & close trades delay
After 3-year, lost almost everything. maybe a few bucks left...
So forget it.
No holy-grail.
