One possibility is to code up just the astrology part and see how it
does, either as a trade simulation or a correlation with, say, pivots.
I would assume that if each Turtle ran the exact same system on the
exact same data, that they would get exactly the same results. I would
agree that they might be different in real trading.
That's why I was looking for a 'system', and why I think one does not
get the same information from comparison of trading accounts, which
is, as you suggest, usless for assesing the technique. :-)
