RE: Results look Good???

Mark,

No, what the performance chart at
http://www.dlmtraderware.com/spresults.html says is:

- its a system based on 5 minute bars
- it takes roughly 1 trade per day
- you are only in the trade for 1 bar = five minutes

So, basically, you'd better be sitting at your keyboard, able to place
orders *very fast* in order to keep up with whatever assumptions the system
makes.

Snooze, you lose.

Given that its only in the trade for 1 bar I have to assume that whatever is
allocated to slippage is grossly underestimating reality.

Cheers
mw

ok..I'm kinda new to the list and am looking for the answer to this also...

Evidently all trades are entered and exited the same day

I assume because of the bouncing tick problem, or where the actual fill
would take place versus where TS system puts it is the problem??
