TJ:
I am a discretionary trader so I am not familiar with the details of systems.
However, I would like to have some fun with your system, if you don't mind. I
assume you do not trade the Cow Pie system so maybe we can analyze it to (1)
show the deficiencies of system testing and (2) get suggestions about how to
correct these deficiencies or (3) learn how to avoid problems with our own
systems now and in the future.
If you can post the code (and list the deficiencies if you wish), we will have
the list point out as many deficiencies as possible for testing systems as
well as for the Cow Pie in stage one. Stage 2 will focus on how to avoid or
correct problems. TJ, if you trade this system or don't want to disclose the
code for any reason, just say so and the subject will be dropped.
