what is the meaning of SP 500 to OEX PCR ratio? What logical sense does it make to divide price by sentiment? According to your data the system is only marginally better than buy and hold. Poor performance of the inverse strategy indicates that the system exits trades too early. Hence, there is a huge underperformance during a bull market. None of your posts gives percent of winning trades in the statistics table. Why? While I generally appreciate your posts and trading ideas, this particular one is definitely not the best. Just a quick look at the last two years worth of actual data shows that the recent performance wasn’t great. It is also evident from your graph that in the last two years the system lost some money. One of the most important parameters of a trading system is how it performs in bull and bear markets. You provided no such information. I doubt that this strategy has a real edge and I feel it may mislead some “blind” followers. You don’t have to share your ideas, but if you do, please do it in a way that it actually benefits your readers and doesn't hurt their accounts. Sorry…]]> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:04:24 -0500
