(BTW - congrats on your text box success!)
Maybe because while you were in the while block, you were outside of the scope of the where the list box or text box (or whatever) was alive. Just...
The original thought came to mind when I was creating simple systems with a program I built. The original post went like this: "But, there...
Contraian, you are correct in that sense (although I do not agree with your signature). A programmer alone is not going to create a good system -...
Agreed. Three months is WAY to short. My data provider only gives me three months. Expect a new thread from me to ask anyone if they can sell to...
In response to the question of the why - yes, I understand the why (of the opposite). After clearing my head, it is me being stubborn (how can my...
This is a powerful idea. I hope to understand this concept someday. Thanks for putting it out there.
Vanilla2, yes, my equity curve factors in the commisions ( i am using backtesting software I designed which allows it - not sure what other...

Ok. A burning question thats been on my mind. Please help! I have been creating and designing "systems". Just simple rules, over three months...
I code C++ for fun. I also work in software industry (product design / development - the guy that tells the programmers what to do). I have...
Hypo, thanks for the response. Your advice is priceless to me - I will also be sure to read up on those books (i have Pardos book somewhere around...
Thanks for all the replies. I have looked back, nothing skewing my results. I also understand that systems can and will break down any time they...

Hi. I am new to backtesting strategies. I have a question regarding the system I am testing. Currently, my buy / ss signals are generated off...
Yes. Their server has this price off by 1 point - the close is 1051.25 on their side (low is correct though). Looks like an error there. I will...
