Hello John,

JC> If  you  can respond to the two items below in a non sarcastic and
JC> hamanitarian  way  I  would  join  QUANT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  in  a NY
JC> minute.Otherwise my wife is telling me I am spending too much time
JC> on you. And you KNOW she may be right I do BELIEVE.

It is very hard to communicate to a cave man that world in not flat.
But I will try and not punish you out of my frustration, that is wrong
and I apologize in advance just in case.

JC> Dear Quant,

JC> Two items:

JC> 1.  How  would you do it? An answer and not another critique would
JC> be appreciated.

JC> 2.  I  am  told  by  those more astute than I with the TS that the
JC> latest  model backtests with I minute resolution. I have seen such
JC> backtesting correlate with realtime results whether good or bad.

Honestly  it would be a waste of my time and effort to try and educate
you  any  further on the subject of trading. When I read below who and
what  you  think  are  usable  systems.  Plus  the  credibility of the
purveyors  associated  with  those  two  systems. I would say that the
qualifications  you  once  threw  around here as many others have mean
absolutely  nothing  but evidence of a lack of knowledge in this field
which I so arrogantly reside.

JC> I  am  glad  you know I am not a scammer but a seeker of the truth
JC> which  often  comes  by hypothesizing and testing. Forward testing
JC> tells me a lot more than backtesting.

I have a full minute tell everything you know about testing?  Did you
do it somewhere professionally where they paid your for your research?

JC> So  far  you know what I do and how I run my portfolio and my good
JC> and bad mechanical trading years [Master Suite, Dual Thrust, etc].

Master Suite - if the name alone doesn't scream at you SCAM!  Then
perhaps the government can educate you better.
http://www.cftc.gov/ogc/oporders99/ogcr_wtechnical031699.htm

Dual Thrust - another systems by another scammer. Find the information
on  tHE  NFA  web site. Also note that the Dual Thrust web site claims
they  have  a  mechanical system, but it's not good enough to trade so
they want to trade your account using their discretion, funny stuff.

JC> Still sincerely,

JC> John
