[RT] S & P System Failures

I have perhaps uncovered why I am rebuilding a previously super 
successful system to being a so so system.When the market was higher 
and going lower it should have been clear to me that there was a 
built in erroneous bias.

I believe the stops and trailing stops should be a set % of the S&P 
instead of hard and fast numbers.For example if one were trading the 
S&P around 1000 then 6 points as a stop and floor for TS may work 
fine. However when around 1500 the range widens and set trails and 
stops become archaic and vice versa.

I am now experimentinting with 0.6 % of any S&P level for the subject 
stops and meeting with some better results in testing.

Many of you may have known this all along and I apologize if it 
insults your experience.

AND I AGREE WITH BEN.....ENOUGH NON TRADE POSTS. I PERSONALLY AM 
PSYCHED OUT. I still seek simplicity and order in all things I do and 
overexposure in any area is deafening.
