John,
Can you please explain the purpose of these posts other than seeming to
promote something? Have you ever posted the logic of this so-called system
or the EL code the causes the signals to be generated? Maybe I missed it
somehow. In the absence of an attempt to construct a trading system or as a
learning exercise or whatever, I have to ask the purpose of the posts and
where it's all going, especially now that we are up to Update #7!
Like the first sentence below does nothing for me except it looks like the
signal is now discretionary and nobody but you knows what this all means. Am
I correct that this system cannot be coded up in EL and can only be tested
by eyeball or by your hand? Are we all trying to learn how to make money or
a trading system from all of this, because if we are, you've lost me and I
suspect a whole pile of others too, so I ask again, what's it all about?
BTW where is the long term backtesting that you refer to in the last
sentence that "Longer term back testing seems to colloberate these data and
this pattern" ? What data and what pattern? What collaboration are you
referring to?
Thanks John for any explanation about what is going on in these posts just
so I don't fall asleep reading them not knowing what is important and what
is not and what I should be trying to learn or glean from this.
regards,

for a win of $4250.
