Oh I entirely agree with you. I meant sad for everyone, including of course the investors - the ones who actually suffered. You are entirely right about the need for investor protection.

Yeah, but everyone here with a pulse knows you were only sad for your friend. Maybe time to find friends whose firm's are not caught up in CFTC dragnets. Or maybe before you go recommending someone to new traders you would be forthcoming in all that you know about said person?

Gosh, no - all I am recommending is Curtis Faith's book and the back testing engine which he helped to create.

You may well have a copy of Trading Blox - I don't know. Since Curtis' day it has been enormously further improved - and it was a hell of a piece of software in the first place.

I have literally spent thousands of hours backtesting strategies over the past few years and it has proved an incredible tool.

I honestly have no personal knowledge of Curtis at all. I have never even met him. But his book and the software he helped design are excellent.

I am not recommending "Curtis". But you are right - I DO feel sorry for the man. The collapse of that fund must have been very painful. I also feel for the investors.

For Faith? Why? I guess there would have been no "pain" if the firm wasn't nailed by the CFTC? Or better yet, I guess Madoff felt "pain" too? Did you read those government depositions for Faith's firm? If not, why not? Don't you think that if you are going promote someone you should at least do some due diligence? You did go to law school right? And since you now profess all kinds of distance don't you think should note that you are one of a handful thanked in Faith's book?

As I have said with much patience all I am recommending is the software originally created by Curtis Faith and an excellent book he has written about back testing trading systems.

I have no need to distance myself from Curtis Faith since I have never had any connection with him in the first place.

I have told you many times before that (1) I have never spoken to Curtis Faith over the telephone (2) I have never met him (3) I have no association or "friendship" with him (4) I reviewed his book at his request since he had come to respect my trading views from posts on the Trading Blox Forum.

I feel sorry for Curtis as a fellow human being.

Just so. I feel that we have had an amicable and useful discussion.
