    This is a good resource for a very basic look at correlation. It's for ETFs but you can find corresponding ones for futures.

    That site you linked to only supports backtesting 5 years worth of data which renders any backtest result slightly better than worthless.

    Watch videos from below site to get an idea of using multiple un-correlated strategies together. Many other topics covered as well. Just for educational purposes.

  8. I have about 200 auto systems that have been profitable at various times in the past 15 years or so. I am currently running three systems that have been profitable for the last year. In my experience, auto systems work for a while and then the market changes and a different system is needed. I have never sold any of my systems, though I would happily accept payment if anyone offered. I have given away several of my systems to various fellow traders.

    Here's a freebie for you: Buy Home Depot during the last 5 minutes of trading every day but Tuesday; sell it at the open the next day. This has been working several years. Of course, it could stop working any day now... :)

  9. All systematic/fixed trading systems, as far as I'm concerned,are weird and silly and rather dumb and close-minded and square. o_O

    I don't understand or see how someone can reasonably expect to win and survive and thrive doing that.
    I say this alot...but trading is part art, part science...everyday, each unique chart.
