I enjoyed QTS for the transperancy, honesty, rigor and open ended solutions, on top of the fact that it is based in my home software. I thought you had another book or two in you. Thanks for writing. >creating profitable trading systems still requires > serious effort and understanding At a recent trading *seminar* the promoter said *all in 1 hour a day etc*. In the coffee break I said to my companions,*A brain surgeon only takes two hours to perform life saving surgery but it takes him or her 10 yrs to learn how and to do it and to qualfiy for the job*. Another time a friend said, *I want to become a professional trader*. I answered, *That is like saying that you want to play cricket for Australia*. (international translation = = play basketball for the USA, soccer for France etc or win a Nobel price for academic research). Trading is indeed a high performance event requiring a high performance attitude to attain a gold medal. Ditto all your points. If we are honest with ourselves there are only certain answers we can arrive at. Brian.
