Thanks Justin to follow. The system is up 7% while the index (NDX) is down 3% over the same period of time. The trading universe of the demonstration portfolio is based on tech stocks so you can compare to NDX or IXIC but nothing else. Of course, we could trade a different universe of stocks (e.g. commodities, etc) but that would be a different demonstration portfolio.

As you've noticed I've stopped posting on this subject as I had little constructive reactions. People stand with their beliefs and it hard to make them think beyond the boundaries they've erected.

The link for those who have lost it is http://cosmosportfolios.blogspot.com/

The method used is described @ http://tradingautomation.blogspot.com/

I've enough money to be relaxed and not to charge for the "service".
Enjoy or ignore, it's up to you.

It will soon be a year since this account started on the 20th of Dec. 2004

Welcome back, Poyet.* *It looks like the market wasn't kind to your reference portfolio this year.* * Do you plan to make any changes to your algorithms based on what you observed, or are you pretty happy with the way it worked?* * And, thanks for making the data available for scrutiny.

Re: Kiyosaki

Hi Wab,

The US tech market was kind of the worse the system could encounter given the trading style used over the period (starting Dec.2004). The system tries to take advantage of large trends be they up or down and to leverage while these trends set up. We had no trend and were whipsawed 3 times ! But we're still afloat, slightly positive.

During the same period the French reference portfolio (trading only French stocks) is up 86% as european markets were trendy (it's in fact a small real portfolio). The problem is that this market is not liquid enough for the method used to put at work large amounts of capital.

But overall, the system did what it was tought and was consistent with the rules enacted (and validated). Not saying it was the best one could do / have done on a tech stok trading universe, but it's a means to trade while controlling risk and sleeping at night.

As North pointed out the motivation is not money. I'll keep up until everybody will know on this planet that trading automation was a revolutionary means of addressing the market, and when everybody will be convinced and use such kind of methods they will cease working :-))

Cheers

I guess from an analytical perspective, you have to compare your model portfolio to the tech index. I was comparing your model portfolio's performance to a broad based market index. The former comparison answers the question "can my system beat the benchmark tech index" while the latter comparison answers the question "can the system beat a broadly diversified index that I might actually dump all of my money into".

I'm apparently screwing up by just buying a bunch of good equity funds that pay decent dividends, making tons of money and spending the checks they keep sending me.

No, you're just failing to realize your money's full potential.

Kinda like ER'ing is failing to realize your full personal potential and rotting in greener pastures. You waste all your productive time mangling metaphors instead of masticating for money.

Back to work, both of you!

Rats

Given Wall Street's perchant for feeding the ducks and the recent tax cut on divs. - perhaps I should learn to write in Norwegian and have a translated English version.

heh heh heh heh - infomercial and seminars to follow - perhaps tied in with a cruise line - I understand they do that sort of thing.

This morning I was sitting at the table and glanced at one of my wifes "womens health" type magazines and accidentally read aloud one of the titles on the cover "four ways to a firmer butt" or some such. I immediately realized my mistake and lack of protective headgear when she inquired "Are you reading that because you think I need to try some of those out?".

Realizing I had less than 5 seconds to remain alive AND injury free, I replied that I was quite sure that she must have tried all four just before I met her, and was secretly still using them as she had the finest, firmest butt i had ever seen.

I will now very quietly and without further comment go move 4000lbs of furniture.

Your approach probably worked better than my "Honey, it's just not about you" tactic...
