I spent 6 SOLID weeks writing the system from hell - and then 3 years part time
improving it. As the system got better and better (with new formulas available in
later MetaStock releases) I lost the ability to test across multiple securities.
Visually this system looks like a license to print money. And it has paid for
itself with real trades.
Now my only hope to know if this system is commercially profitable in the LONG RUN
(30 yrs?) is to hope that MetaStock makes this feature available before the Cdn
Loonie sinks to the equivalent of the Italian Lira or the Russian Rubble. At the
speed the Loonie is dropping I calculate MS has about six months to deliver the
feature before $100cdn equals $1US (if panic selling does not occur). Or I could
just move to the US.
