Thanks. Interesting.
Piping the site through http://babelfish.altavista.com resulted in
an English translation that roughly conveyed to me what was going
on, but I'd like you to clarify.
It seems that people have come up with trading strategies in WL that
give optimistic results to the point of absurdity. And yet (as
far as I can tell from reading) these strategies don't "cheat" by
looking at future prices. Correct?
I am curious if the same system logic programmed on TradeStation
would yield similar results, and if not, why not. In other words,
is the ridiculous equity curve shown the result of poor programming,
or the underlying backtesting platform?
I am interested in the answers because I have always been interested
in any trading / backtesting platform that has additional
capabilities lacking in TS2000i (specifically portfolio testing,
optimizing on custom calculated results, and a one-time purchase
price rather than rental like TS7).
