I was suggesting that assembling a system from
a group of items with good stats is likely to produce better results
than a system composed of items with poor stats. Would you agree?


ztrader,
    Did you read the below quote from Joe Duffy's post last night?? It 
disagrees with your above statement. You are always looking for proof through 
statistics and his point has always been that the proof is in his brokerage 
statement each month. How about giving us an idea on what you're thinking 
about once the opening bell is rung in the A.M.?? I take it from your past 
posts that you start each day with no bias. So what kind of price action are 
you looking for to get the trigger finger ready??

And similarly when testing two systems that work, you put them together 
thinking maybe you will improve the results, but most of the time the 
results get worse. Similarly two components that are not that great 
on their own 
can yield a decent result when used together. 
 
Thats why do not throw out your ideas that don't test that well. A couple 
ideas that dont test very well can sometimes do better together then two 
ideas that do test well. 
 
Almost everything about building a system is counter intuitive including 
stuff like this.
