Actually, no, this post is excellent, it's exactly WRONG. Backwards. It be easily demonstrated even with Excel (maybe even BoWo could try instead of making useless sheets that show how he can pyramid his system) that longer-term (weekly - monthly) returns are significantly less leptokurtic than shorter term returns. Intraday returns have much more "abnormal" distributions and also show significantly more instances of being non-random. Lastly, leptokurtosis is absolutely NOT associated with trending behavior. This is the problem when people don't do the work, don't understand the math (which is not difficult), and just parrot stuff they have heard elsewhere.
Nicely said, talon. No wonder Hershey logic and little bow wow actually have followers. Math ed is majorly lacking in the USA
You should email it to Dr kingy and surfer then. Last you said it was on 50 discs and had to be mailed. What could possibly use so much space. It's not 1988 anylonger chef. You can't go wrong. This guy will do it for free. Time to stop pretending. Here is another idea. Just video it working and post on YouTube. But of course you really don't have it. And if you do it just some kinda chart painter program from 1988.

We'll be here for awhile, so become enlightened through videodical intellectualism. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/08EF19FC8C3D9F13?hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/08EF19FC8C3D9F13?hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> After that, have a look at the next playlist to decide if Financial Science is a valid academic description of what produces the wonderful equity curve in the chart below through an Artifically Intelligent Genetically Optimized Futures Trading Strategy using a 0.05 Mutuation Factor. I'm considering sharing the logic that could enable a translation of the code into backtestable strategy software, but that would ruin the fun to see if there is anybody getting the same results. Most likely, I will keep failing to hear nothing but crickets. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/4B54BE9AAA7B0909?hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/4B54BE9AAA7B0909?hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
