Hi MG Ferreira:
  Thank for your suggestion, in order to compare only the performance 
of entry signals for many indicators, I use a volatility exit 
strategy for all of them, so I can compare only the entry efficiency 
among indicators. After that, the highest entry efficiency can be 
determined based on an arbitrary level of volatility exit strategy. 
The problem I am facing is how to determine the appropriated level of 
volatility exit strategy after that, if I change the level of 
volatility, then the prior entry efficiency for each indicator will 
be changed too.  I need to determine both entry and exit efficiencies 
independently, but they both are influenced each other.  Therefore, I 
am facing the problem of how to evaluate the exit efficiency. Should 
I set an arbitrary entry strategy as a baseline or should I use the 
prior indicator of the best entry efficiency as a baseline?
Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you
Eric
