no i didnt say you could get better results!  where did i ever say that!  in
fact i said if you have a system that holds up with perp data then you have
something because it is much harder to make a system work on this type of
data.  it is a wake up call.  if your system works on this data then it will
surely do better trading real time and you wont fool yourself!

> I discovered that taking signals from the perpetual series was
significantly worse than just a back-adjusted front month series.

yes and so that is good, besides see the perp data is flat and so a breakout
type system will do the worst on a perp series than any, because its flat.
however a i am a counter trend trader and so i find many times the slippage
is working for me and not against me.

thank you for the test. and i hope that you understand that i wanted to use
perp data because it makes a system look more honest.  mb
