Re: What should systems sell for?

this is a good one..! hmmm,  things like,  

has system been tested on real trades , or simulation

over how long a period...?



i mean, i have managed a simulation on the sp500, with 1 (no scaling up)
single mini  contract that has yielded  around  25K   in twelve months over
31 trades,  avearge hold of  trade around 8 days....  biggest  intra day
draw down,  around 2500, the figure spitted out for account size required
is  $6587.00 , average  trade  win $860.
, ave. win/loss ratio  2.91 ,return on  a'c of 388% sounds o.k. :)

Now  whats that worth,   jack i assume....    
as it  ignores globex( and the likely overnight turmoil my account might
suffer),
IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME THE NIGHTLY RANGE, DETAILS OF WHERE I CAN FIND IT,
then please do....even a ball park figure, 20, 30  points...????


i think you can learn alot trying to develop an existing system or
designing one of your own. (keeps me happy for hours)



if people  are peddling a system i'd want  loads of proof, before i parted
with cash,,, ie  many years of actual trading results, not  just simulations..

but...  i have  a single (my only copy of tech. analysis of stocks and
comms.there hard to come by in the U.K) and theres a company call CREATIVE
BREAKTHROUGH INC.  and they are flogging a thing called %C-DT , and what
they offer is for you to lease the system, it says here, a trial lease
costs  $125.00 for 31  days  and its the full working system. its 100%
mechanical and never holds overnight. oh it trades sp500.. its  average
$1265.00 per week profit, on  one contract, max  draw down $5,785.00


oh and just clocked the yearly outlay,,  495 per quarter, 895 semi annual,
or 1695 yearly,  


NOW.... it sounds  better to me   you can lease for a relatively small
amount  and see if it works out.....


PLEASE... I HAVE NO CONNECTIONS WITH THE COMPANY..... its  just an add i
remembered.... any Traders tried it/use it......??
