Ed,
Are you suggesting that the 'info' at the end of techies link is based on, or, is an actual copy of Dean Hoffmans system? The site does say: "If you see any file that should not be here, send an email to [email protected] and let me know. I'll remove it as soon as I see the email." This type of thing poses very difficult ethical questions ... this is true of the internet in general. I am not sure exactly what position to take. A lot of trading info is general knowledge ... who knows where it first came from? Purveyors of trading systems seem to be in a dubious position: - it is highly unlikely their work is original anyway - it is very doubtful if it works - they seem to be attempting to lock up trading knowledge, that is generic, in an attempt to garner the profits for themselves. In this case: I looked at the PDF ... is is not even pseudocode, let alone a takeoff ... it is just a generic presentation of little value. As per the discussion I was involved in last week ... I have some reservations regarding code and copyright issues e.g. the contents of Howard's book QTS is copyright ... forbidden to reproduce,store, transmit etc The first piece of AFL code in the book is: //Example Trading System.afl // //Very simple trading system FMA = MA(C,3); SMA = MA(C,20); Buy = Cross (FMA, SMA); Sell = Cross (SMA, FMA); Technically speaking Howard 'owns' this system (unless someone esle had already 'published' it prior to his use of it in QTS). It seems to me that this is tying up 'ownership' of a system that I could have readily thought of myself and that I might have wanted to share with the community for free, especially if I consider it to be of no value. On top of that it uses movng averages crossovers ... moving averages are part of the public (maths) domain and crossovers are part of common trading knowledge. It is common place for traders to use, and publically share, common knowledge ... no one is concerned about who first started it e.g. I haven't noticed any cases where John Bollinger sued anyone for using 'his' indicators in their commercial software. As I said ... there are a lot of grey ethical areas on the net with no easy answers as to what is the right thing to do. brian_z --- In [email protected], "Ed Hoopes" <reefbreak...@...> wrote: > > I have a license for the Synergy Trading system, written by Dean > Hoffman who makes a living selling trading systems.
