did he retire?
mde enough money and bought a small island in
mediterranean?
or did he find out that technical analysis sucks? :
))
just kidding..
by the way, superfrag your email about trading
systems inspired me. and i stopped lloking for a -trade all- trigger but use my
good old optimized dema difference.. i saw di napoli macd and i just optimized
it.
another point is, i want to clarify one point about
egineers and optimization, though i agree your points about the stuff. the thing
is optimization is not maximization. if you introduce the hoursa that you sleep
and work so you cannot enter tne market directly, ant that your saying about
getting on the trend late is much better than getting off early. so either youll
use delayed parameters or somehow slowdown the tirggers. so that is aother
variable. and if you include that in your maximization calculation, you would
reach a personal optimization..
metastock optimization doesot optimize, it
maximizes, we can optimize a system on our own. human brain is better than the
best computer right..
anyways, thanks again for your commets. ill try to
think of something that fits trending periods and sideways periods- as you call
it..
cheers

The one guy who might have the MS code is Spyros. He's
one of the
world's top experts on the zig zag. He stopped using MS about a
year
ago, but maybe he has the code.

consider myself a very competent formula writer. I
always wondered
how the zig zag formula was created. It seems
straight forward
enough. I think if I spend enough time on it I
could figure it out
totally. Part of the problem is that I am a
active player in the
market and there just isn't enough time in the
day. Thanks for being
honest with your limitations. If I come
up with the formula I will
post it. For now I will just move
on. Good luck to all and keep
building the most profitable trading
system.
