intermilan04,
Actually not if he has to back test his system to make sure he is still
wanting to trade it or for what ever reason he stated
He stated that when he is down 40% and can not sleep at night he back tests
his trade system to make sure it is still working
So why back test to make sure it is right if you have traded it for years
and know it makes you money?
So with that in mind yes IO would be needed as much as his back testing to
make sure that his system is still working
I am done with this to many black holes about this

You don't seem to understand. According to Mark H,
HE IS MAKING 126% THE LAST 3 YEARS. We are not talking
about his system producing 126% the last 3 years. He is
MAKING THAT AMOUNT IN REAL LIFE (According to his story).
So what you talked about below is true but irrelevant to Mark H.
