Really good thread....keep up the good work.....really made my life easier in choosing a system....thanks a lot

 

Thank you Gyles, for posting the report.

 

Thank you, gp_nair for your kind and encouraging words.

Welcome, SuperCruz

I have posted some new code with reference to the 3MACrossover System, and the link is as follows:

Will the moving average system work in another platform, besides TradersStudio?

 

Thanks Gyles for the informative and well explained report.

However, I have a few questions, as follows:

1. Suppose we use the same set of parameters, same maxbars, but with different ranges of time period, how should we read the results?
2. Do we take a long period of time, to remove all bias? Since, economic conditions of the world keep changing, so the way and reasons of the stock market is bound to vary, so how can be sure of the correct analysis?
3. Moreover, how do we consider parameters, maxbars, and date period, as when I run with different sets, results are bound to differ, so how to be sure of which one is accurate and reliable?

If anyone of you has ever tried out different combinations, please clarify the above, thanks!

 

The moving average system is a "portfiolo based system". All you need is to have a platform which can handle porfiolos to test a basket system. You can use any of the following:

• TradeStation and Rina
• Trading Bloxs
• TradersStudio

 

By the way, Gyles, since trend following does not work on stock index futures; do you have any stock index strategies which you can share with us? If so, then please also show us as to how they are currently working?

 

Thanks, SuperCruz for the reply.

Any comments on above systems' performance on the "moving average system"?
