I WAS using Volume Systems, but now I've switched to reversion and pullback strats in this market stage. The best one I've tested lately is ARM5 SS. I haven't been able to get ARM 5 RTM to run properly. I'm taking another stab at it again today. What I have found to be useful is to use a different list. I subscribe to Vector Vest. Within V V I used their WOW list, which is a list of about 200 symbols they pull from trading newsletters. Then I took the list and ranked it by Relative Timing (trading energy) and Comfort Index (price persistence - charts with price patterns moving lower left to upper right) and the improvement was substantial. For those of you who do not subscribe to V V, you might consider building a list from the IBD symbols and try to rank them as mentioned above, then pick off the top 100 symbols and see if you don't get a substantial improvement in your results. Or, try some Nirvana lists in OmniScan that mimic some of these characteristics. My point is that while ATS is a terrific advantage, one can REALLY improve testing results by culling out a list of stocks that already have positive characteristics. Hope this helps. All the best, Wynn | |
