Re: FUTR: SYSTEM TEST, SP500

Just from looking at these numbers, I see you enter and exit the same day? Any
such system has to be tested intraday, as daily bars are virtual bars, not
reflecting real price action, which means trades registered as winners could
have been losers. If 20% of these are losers, one could "guess-timate" profits
at 344-70=274 and losses at 54+70=124 or 150 net profit or half your number at
best.

As long as you haven't tested with intraday data on a 30min or less timeframe,
these numbers remain fully theoretical.

Best to you
