Unfortunately your back-testing only curve fits your trade system making it optimal with already known data. If you were to use IO with it out of sample I would think that it would fall apart and you would have to wait for that huge win to dig you out   I rather have my system with a Mdd of about 9% and Annret of 38%     Mark       From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark H Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 10:02 PM To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Has anybody made any money???   That's why I said it was the most difficult part of the system :-)  When I couldn't sleep at night, I just ran a backtest again, and compared the current market conditions with historical conditions with similar drawdowns. That helped me breathe and relax!   ----- Original Message ----- From: MailYahoo To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 8:56 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] Has anybody made any money???   Mark, 40% MDD? I would be up all night with that To me that is not a trading system that I could live with, more of a hope and pray type of system Mark size=2 width="100%" align=center tabIndex=-1> From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark H Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 5:30 PM To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Has anybody made any money??? Dr Gaine$ My strategy is dip buying. When the market is bullish, buy strong stocks when they dip steeply and sell them when they rise. The secret is to use time stops (5-8 days) to let your capital work harder for you. The most difficult part is to sit tight when market is not good and also stomach the drawdown up to 40%. Backtest helps a lot to pull the trigger when you are down 40%. - Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: richard gaines To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 9:40 AM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Has anybody made any money???

I own Amibroker software, and have the latest version (standard). I also have Metastock, Vectorvest and some other software. But I am sorry to say that Amibroker is the only software I ever bought that I did not study up on. I understand that most of the users are very pleased with it from looking at this forum. Most of the postings are of a technical nature, with questions as how to understand and use the software. But I don't recall seeing postings from people noting their success in using the software. Have any of you had great/good/fair success in using it? Have you made a lot/some/little money with it? Maybe some of your positive comments will give me a kick in the ass, and I'll start on the 800 page manual. Thanks Fred __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
