    The same as mine...He basically mirrored my stats. I would rather make more trades,though, because each trades means less. If one trade fucks you, you can be screwed as you dont have many trades to make it back.

  4. But in a bear market how do you guys do? Isn't this really the point?

    I choose a system that can go long and short...and there are just too many stocks in our authors system...How can he get filled on ALL the shorts, if he choose to?

    Unless you trade options, I do not believe any backtests that trade short...and I believe one must trade short for a system to be resilient...

    shorts are harder than ever to get filled on...
