Hi Mark. I must admit I wasn't looking for faults in the simulations. Surely
distorting backtests on purpose is a bit like cheating at Solitaire. Am I
just too naive for this game or what?
Hello John,
JP> A broker sent me a sales pitch on a new? trading system called
JP> Dynamo Bonds. The trading history seems too good to be true - like
JP> 1 loss in every 20 trades. The history is specified as simulated
JP> and doesn't claim to be real trades, but even so......
i think this is a great test of whether a person who reads the
performance summary and does not see the faults, may need to
reconsider even being in the trading business at all.
