I  would  argue  that  perfection  is  arguably unobtainable. I have a
theory  that perfection is indeed obtainable as far as trading systems
go.  That  perfection  does not mean that a system need be 100 percent
winners.  Perfection  to  me  is a purely mechanical system that makes
money.  If  a  systems has what we call errors, is this an error or is
our  perception  of  what an error is wrong. Is it wrong to buy lumber
and  build a house? Then after completing the house we try and sell it
but  we can not. Is the house a failure/error or was our perception of
what the outcome should have been WRONG?
