Ok, you want good news about back testing. Well there are times it is
useful. And I will by next week show you in real terms where it can make
money...provided certain conditions are met.
It is another interview with a real trader who trades for a living and has
given me access to three years of statements.
This is part of my presentation for Futures West...by the way, I have
discovered the Futures industry is no place to meet lots of single women.

Hi Mr Orphelin;
I think we all know what trade station and TradeStation meant in his post.

I knew it !

A reminder your good at writing EL but I read some of your post and don't
think you should be giving advise on literary skills is just my opinion.

It's a respectable opinion.
You may know that I am able to write in a pure french style without any
difficulty, and that's not exactly the case with the official Omega List
language.
But the purpose was not there, only some sarcastic stuff that I cannot avoid

Not copying all the past post to replies was a valid point the rest was
just unnecessary criticism.

Not only.
If Neal could ALSO focus on some positive thoughts regarding trading systems
and backtesting instead of the current serie offered here in a recent past,
I
could easily avoid this situation.
As I said to him privately:
We all know that there are a lot of crap in this business.
But you may separate the problem and do not mix this with Omega Research.
It's perfectly possible to build and sell crap systems with Excel, C, VB or
anything you want.
This does not mean that the above language ort software are worthless.
This only means that when a crap guy uses a trading software, it will
probably produce a crap result.
Well , I think that I should take some time on backtesting clarification and
suggestions too.
Sincerely,
Pierre Orphelin
