Hi Graham, I have been a bit slack in looking at the forum. I am off to the IFTA Conference in Chicago in a few days.
Howard is preparing a really hands on approach. There will be hundreds of examples, some to work on in the workshop, others to take home with you. I went to Howard's 2 day ABG workshop in Las Vegas in 2008 and it was excellent learning. I know that Howard has put in more than 1,000 hours developing this set of workshops. As a former University Professor he actually knows how to impart knowledge effectively. I also think that he is without any doubt, the pre-eminent expert in the development, testing and validation of trading systems. It will be "Learning from a Master".
