The problem with the subject of systems is illustrated buy this typical
discussion. 

Hey, I have got this great new system.
 
Really, tell me how it works.

Well, I don’t want to say, but in thorough back-testing over  30 years it
would 
have made 5 Trillion Dollars and 75 cents.

Wow, have you traded it?

Well, yes.

Have you made any money with it?
 
Well no, but it only had a $57000 dollar draw down.
 
Great, so how’s the weather out there?


When you discover a great system it's like getting a sliver out of your
finger that has really been bugging you, you feel great about your personal
triumph but no body else really cares.

The few systems that I have seen posted on Real Traders got the poster
either a 
“So what” or “You idiot” response. Yes, I think systems are waaay boring.
Now, how about another stimulating discussion about Miners new book.
ZZZZZZZZ...

Systematic Regards,
