<< First of all my comments and posts were meant constructively and with
admiration.
***** I find your comments about Mark Brown's Odd Ball system to be vague,
inappropriate and unethical. The fact that you choose to offer some
unattributed results and unsubstantiated conclusions after helping run him of
the realtraders list, without disclosing any prior conflicts you had with
him, is incredible gall (i.e. brazen boldness coupled with impudent assurance
and insolence) and lacking honor.

I do not intend to spend a career answering long drawn out
questions but since this post is relatively comprehensive I will
reply to the best of my ability.I do not have cable hook up so long
questions are often cut off and I dislike redoing them.
1.The data was sent to me by a reliable third party. I am in the
process of getting the website.
2. I fail to see the vagueness of a series of numbers generated with
backdata on this system and then rounded off for time's sake.
3. Re. split...the S&P changed from $500 per point to $250 per point
in a certain year...If one traded the S&P that far back one may or
may not recall the year... more like a chery float than on top.
4. The numbers are all hypothetical but correlate with the Oddball
site. No commission or slippage is used in the data at the Oddball
site or with what was posted so another bite into profits.
5. The variations are posted at the Oddball site and noted as
contributions to code by others.
6. This is the first step at an in depth study. I know you do not
expect me to do an in depth study of this alone. I am just pointing
out what I learned.
7. Yes I have seen optimized and curve fitted codes with few lines.
8. Like I said I am not making a career of studying it and comparing
it to the universe of public domain systems I have seen in Futures
and Stock and Commodites magazines.
My post was meant as food for thought and meant to be complimentary
to its provider...as well was its placing in public domain meant in
the same vein. It was in no sense meant deroggatorily as you seem to
infer.
