PT: "Best" System Logic:

I think "best" will be up to each individual.

tclark1 has done an excellent job of tweaking the parameters to achieve maximum total return. But maybe some people would prefer other variations; giving up some return for less volatility or better statistics e.g., # trades, %wins, avg DD, etc.

I am currently trying to find a way to improve the statistics in some way, realizing that it will most likely cost some points in total return.

tclark1's logic will most likely be what you want (maximum return) whereas I am somewhat partial to my own.

I think we should test next day system with the rules posted here:

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=9895711

It doesn't provide the best overall return, but is pretty good and has the best trade statistics I have been able to produce. It also trades about half as much as some of the higher producers.

It is a basic next day trade starting platform to compare/confirm the spreadsheet is working correctly.

I have added a stop loss to the spreadsheet, but so far have not found anything which produces better results than without it.

I need some suggestions as to when to go back to normal program logic after a stopp loss signal. Any ideas would be appreciated.
