  1. You, too, Ehorn. The market is better than sex, if you're my age. And remember tonight, if you don't drive, drink.

  2. Neoxx did the work, lost thousands of dollars and now he's on the paper trader trail to nowhere ...

    ScottD did the work, built an ATS based specifically on Jack Hershey's over-optimized indicator settings (after a soft pitch lob from ScottD where he supposedly determined price action based on indicators and volume) ... and proceed to lose close to a thousand dollars (then ScottD had an accident and had to discontinue trading the ATS) ...

    Looks to me when Jack says "do the work" you should "run in the other direction"! :p :D

  3. You too T666, you too.

    It's been a great year ... at least now we know what doesn't work! :D

  4. ... I think my advice of running in the other direction was better. :)

    Have you heard of IOG?
    It is a 4 yr old trading technology.

  6. No we haven't, thanks for giving us the information Tums ... but the system still is a net loser.

    LOL :D

    Happy New Years! :p

  7. What was that system called again?

    Cash Machine?

    Money Machine?

    Something like that ... well, lets wish everyone a prosperous New Year, eh? :D

    ScottD 's thread is still WIP.

    I have taken his code, did a little tweak and modification... here's the ESZ8 backtest result. (1 contract)

  9. No doubt, no doubt.

    Yeah, yeah ... I wouldn't rely on that backtest too much if I were ScottD ... :p
