Re: Rating trading systems

Dear Herman,

The best system I have developed is the one for the Dutch stock index (AEX).
I used period 1990-1998 for optimalisation.

Period 1990-now:
Maximum profit: 5972 points (=100%)
My best trading system: 2118 points (35%)

The rest of my trading systems score 5 to 15%. 
I don't know if this number gives a good idea about the quality of a trading
system. I think you need more numbers like maximum drawdown, MAE, most
consecutive losses and so on.

Onno
