    I don't really know Mark personally, I've just been lurking in the woods for a long time (in trading terms, an eternity really, very few people last more than two full cycles). I also picked up a lot of valuable insights from him that saved me research hours (thanks Mark).

    Well I think if you knew the full history of Mark, you would understand why he is no longer sharing any research. He shared a few good systems publicly along with a lot of research findings (not complete systems) and a lot of his ideas and specifically his systems ended up with a SERIOUS following and were mined to death.

    Frankly the guy could have probably traded some of these for his personal interests and would have had a 5 to 10 year run before having to change. Instead I believe he had a 2-3 year run of which the last year the performance attenuated.

    He is a systematic trader/researcher, beyond that it doesn't really pay to get hung up on trend following vs. RTM, because it is all about what works rather than pre-conceived notions.

    At any rate if Mark wanted to discuss this seriously, I'm sure he would, as I believe you will find him in this thread ;)

    I completely agree. You don't get a website like that accidentally.

  7. To go away?

    Last I heard, he'd lost it all playing the horses.

    He had a 75 race winning streak, until it was all placed on the #5.

    {Optimize# means a parameter number like 1385 etc.}

    IF Time>= Sess1FirstBarTime and Close of Data2 >"Optimize#" then Buy This Bar else Sell Short This Bar;

    {ah yes the data (two data streams needed) well speculate as well as position sizing there you have it.}
