BTW,has anyone ever looked at the returns table for Bulkowski???
If I interperted it correctly,on average he was right 35% of the time,and his his avg winning trade vs avg losing trade was 14.85 to 1??????????
he has an odd way of looking at percentages...He uses a percentage w/l which he defines as
# of winning trades / # of losing trades. So his best w/l of 73% would only be a 42% winners,while his lowest w/l of 38% would equate to 27% winners.Interestingly,as Jim pointed out,he was profitable in all years posted.
From his webage it appears he is a big proponent of trailing stops,and as I havent read his book,I will assume that his capital protect stop is similar..
"The preferred order is: minor low stop, volatility stop, Fibonacci retrace stop"
He does caution that one must use art as opposed to science in the selection of stops,and as one can see from his Avg P/Avg L,that appears to be the key.
If anyone could point me in the general direction of how to code up a Fibonacci retracement stop,it would be much appreciated..My gues is the max of these 3 stops provides the best returns...
Thanks,
Allan
