Howard.
The problem is that the source of the code is a $97 book. I'm no lawyer, but I
don't see why sharing ideas (in your own words), or even code that you have
written, for free, based on a book that you purchased would be be protected in
any way. But then I also know that copyright laws are changing every day.

Greetings all --
The results that have been posted will generate a lot of interest. Certainly
the backtest results do not violate any copyright. But the etiquette of these
lists considers backtest results without code, or at least a detailed
description of the technique, as spam.
Would someone please post a link to the document that is being used as the
source for the code? Those interested can obtain their own copy, join the
appropriate discussion groups, and be free from any copyright restrictions.
Thanks,
Howard

Dave,
I don´t think copyright is violated by sharing backtest results with
AB users? I have no intention to reveal any of my coding without
permission from the author of the system. I won´t even discuss the
nature of the system at all, sorry. But as you open my eyes to
potential legal problems I will contact the author before sharing
more results. Perhaps it´s better to follow your advise.
My involvement in this discussion originated from the suggestion from
Dr Alex Chambers, on this forum to visit the SST site. He suggested a
monthly return from the system, which exceeded my horizon. My
backtesting so far is incomplete, as I have not used the position
sizing suggested by the author, having still to read up on how this
is coded in AFL.
Ton, you have to wait a bit for the results...
