It's not about discretionary .vs. system trading ... I have every
respect for those who are successful with some form of discretionary
trading ...
However, when I hear of a particular method where the experts state
that there are definite rules and the rules are written and applied
via AFL or ELx or whatever and the resulting backtest is a flop and
then the experts then state that the rules can't be backtested I
become more than a little suspicious.
