Mark,

 

40% MDD?

To me that is not a trading system that I could live with, more of a hope
and pray type of system

My strategy is dip buying. When the market is bullish, buy strong stocks
when they dip steeply and sell them when they rise.

The secret is to use time stops (5-8 days) to let your capital work harder
for you.

The most difficult part is to sit tight when market is not good and also
stomach the drawdown up to 40%.

Backtest helps a lot to pull the trigger when you are down 40%.

But you should know that software are just tools and not money printing
machines. It is what between your ears matters.

I own Amibroker software, and have the latest version (standard). I 
also have Metastock, Vectorvest and some other software. But I am 
sorry to say that Amibroker is the only software I ever bought that I 
did not study up on. I understand that most of the users are very 
pleased with it from looking at this forum. Most of the postings are 
of a technical nature, with questions as how to understand and use the 
software. But I don't recall seeing postings from people noting their 
success in using the software. Have any of you had great/good/fair 
success in using it? Have you made a lot/some/little money with it? 
Maybe some of your positive comments will give me a kick in the ass, 
and I'll start on the 800 page manual.

Thanks

Fred
