Thanks Steve, I sincerely appreciate the support.
My apoligies to all if I have used this forum in an unacceptable
manner. I won't do it again!!
I know this forum is into system development and backtesting, so
allow me to share a few thoughts about trading.
I use two bench marks as a litmus test for my trading systems. The,
first is the performance of an index (ASX 200, ASX All Ords) during
uptrends. The second, is the current interest rate availalbe at the
bank during flat markets or downtrends.
If my system can not beat these two benchmarks, then (in my mind) the
system is no good! Let me repeat, trading systems that can not beat
the bank in flat or downtrending markets are not effective!
Steve, thanks again. Your help has allowed me to set a bench mark
for back testing!
