“Bear in mind that rsi 4 system trading is miles apart from MVP trades.

Both can work, just very different approaches"

Understood. Just looking for an approximation. No hard numbers needed.

I think that systems that focus on shorter time frames may run into the problem I’ve described. I've recently tested some of the TRIX and MA systems discussed here. While they look good over months, not so with years and not so with other ETFs. As you have said in the past, not many could actually handle MVP draw downs. I'm one of those. I guess I may be faced with inconsistent results or big draw downs. One of the best systems available at WL.com is april_october. Two trades a year. But the draw downs are something I can't tolerate having been a LTBH devotee (no more). And when I run stops, I find that often I would have been better off without them.

I’ve looked at script after script and in the long term (10+ years) few, if any bet LTBH.

I'm afraid the work has just got started.

That said, I've got to get back to it.
