To all those who will be attending TAINJ (or others if you want to chime in)....There are a lot of bright people trying to find the perfect system.You know the one with no losses tha buys at the very bottom and sells at the very top.Well there aint no
such animal and all we can do is work toward this goal.
What bothers me is that every approach and every improvement appears to be THE answer.I believe we need a systematic testing system that compares all the systems using a) the same stocks, b) the same time periods, c) in up markets and down.
How does BNS compare with DNS. Is StocRsi better than Linear trend? Does Wtd Stochastics (that I will present) provide leads for new approaches (which should then be tested on the original set of stocks and times.
Since we all use the same raw data on prices (or volume) there is bound to be a high correlation between the various approaches.Probably the biggest factor that dictates whether we win or lose this game is the psychological one....Do we obey the signals?
Building confidence in a system that has been proven to work for different stocks in different markets can do this for us.
Do you agree with me? Should we run an extensive test of the sort I
propose? Lets discuss. Jack Landis
