I completely agree that actual results are far better than any
theoretical backtest, but 3 years isn't long enough to really know
anything, IMO. It would take at least a couple of full bull/bear

No offense to anyone, truly, I was just trying to help screen-out
unpromising lines of research.:) If any posters here routinely use
angles as a significant part of their method and have run an honest

I apologize for bursting your bubble, but angles are not going to be a
consistent measure. If the scale of the chart changes so does the

Trendlines that connect highs/lows, however, are consistent regardless
of scale. In "The Ne
