As far as TJ giving me credit for the inspiration of the current 'backtesting' capabilities of AB goes ... PLEASE LET'S NOT GO DOWN THIS ROAD AGAIN ... I got in enough trouble the last time someone made statements like that ...
9/11 notwaithstanding, trading at the open has been classified by most specialists and professionals ( which is not something I am claiming to be here ) as an activity that is performed by the uneducated newbies ... This is not my statement but it is one I happen to agree with and I think for good reason. It is a simple enough process to analyze intraday prices and see that this is in fact about the worst time of the day one could arbitrarily pick to trade. As far as Howard's book is concerned, I might find it interesting reading as I know of Howard from other groups and respect his work ... While I don't typically buy products like BioComp's Dakota etc. they usually eventually find their way onto a PC I have access to for evaluation ... I can't say I personally have any interest in having a product that does what I thought it was capable of. So how 'bout I turn this around since you seem to have interest in it ... Find some relevant worthwhile capabilities that Dakota has that IO doesn't and I'll give serious consideration to adding those capabilites to the shareware version of IO. As far as IO Gold is concerned, this is a highly specialized version the only value of which is to speed exhaustive seach or intelligent optimization which most people can't take advantage of as without at least 2-3 machines to work with there would be no benefit. --- In [email protected], "Phsst" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > BioComp has done a marvelous job over the years of changing the > > reporting of their results retrospectively ... > > Fred, > > Over the years, you have demonstrated a *very* special talent in > enhancing AB's functionality. > > Even TJ gave you credit for the inspiration of the current > 'backtesting' capabilities of AB. > > Your PSO contribution was unique... followed up by IO. > > But I have to admit that you also baffle me sometimes with unexpected > posts, one of which was Msg # 100156.
