Nope, I just meant that he measured all the other years from
Jan.1-Jan.1, so he's not comparing apples to apples by looking at YTD
performance. We're coming into a time of year when there are
typically major drops followed by major rallies, so if his system
captures that behavior it could make up for its miserable 75% profit
up until now.:)
I hear you about real DD's that exceed that of tested methods. That's
why I think it's so important to understand why a system works, beyond
simply the fact that it's tested-out well, which could just be a
mathematical coincidence, a meaningless correlation without any
cause-and-effect relationship.
Luck,
Sebastian
