Looking forward to it Brian, it is always great fun and educational to see what others do and how they do it. Your efforts will be appreciated!

INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM DESIGN AND TESTING. Over the next week or two I will be running a series of topics that together make-up a rudimentary training project using AmiBroker and Xcel to demonstrate some basic concepts. It will be suitable for Ami newcomers but might also provide an occasional stimulating thought for the heavier hitters. Let's hope so anyway. It incorporates the Psychology behind the process, as well as design philosophy and practical application. (Ratiocinators need not worry; the Psyche part is over). It will not necessarily be written in formal academic style or constitute a training module in the form that we would expect in an academic presentation. It will however be rigorous enough where necessary. Anyone interested would be best served by connecting the dots themselves. (It's like a jig-saw puzzle rather than a time-line). Supporting files will be posted to the GroupArchive or the AmiBroker third party site. Eventually it may be formalised as a PDF file at the third party site but that is not a certainty. The thread will be picked up from the recent OT:Statistics topic where the psychological component was discussed and the groundwork laid for the practical component. The next sections will be presented under the OT:topic headings: ChiSquared Significance, Random Walk and Calender Effect. There may be other topics presented as the story unfolds. The intention is to break the subject up into manageable topics. I apologise in advance for the number of posts that this will entail; it's more than what I wanted to make but I think it will be worth it. Some Philosophy of Trading questions might be answered (I could get lucky) and a few new ones raised. Over-all, however, the next stages are practically orientated and have a workbook like approach with code, examples and maybe some screenshots. Early next year I will probably run a second project as an example on using AmiBroker to perform fundamental analysis with the ODBC Universal Plug-in and an external database (either Access or SQL), unless of course someone else does it first.
