hello metastock list..

i would like to read opinions of what period of time you recommend to 
use backtesting a system before you feel confident in using that 
system.

i currently backtest my system to january of 1994, and the system has 
looked good in that time frame, i don't believe there have been any 
major corrections in this time frame however.  (?)

i suspect one issue would be the number of trade signals issued, if in 
four years it only generates one trade, even if it's profitable, that 
is hardly a reliable system.

most of mine, over the four years have generated between five and 
twelve trades.

using mostly price oscillators, bay area networks (BAY.N) generated a 
buy signal for me a bit ago.
