If the stock had lost a third since April there is a high chance you wouldn't have been in the trade at the time it dropped 15 %.


Duc your concentrating on outliers

Your making generalisations

Well designed systems will survive outliers.


TechTrader missed the 2008 melt down although not at

It's highest open profit I closed out completely with enough

To buy a house 3 mths before it crashed

90 % of positions closed out on rules in the system. With only one open

And 7 yrs of live trading on the Chartist I decided I'd had enough.


On diversification

I now mainly trade DAX and FTSE Futures

I can control $100's of 1000s of Stock in one contract

I can trade long and short.


This what I was alluding to in the thread.


Much more coming on the topic of Systems development.

But not here.
