Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
Notes to consider for the weekend:
Always reassuring when we find professional traders think the way we do. The latest example being trading rock-star and author AHG’s latest blog post. Not just the main message is solid, there’s lots of gems to unwrap in almost every paragraph as well. Here, we just want to highlight two points:
like us, AHG chooses a lookback period of 20 for his ATR reading, and provides the reason to do so as well. (Note that in The Remek! Suite the default is also 20, but is, of course, customizable.)
AHG uses a lookback period of 1 to compare the most recent candle to the previous candle to arrive at a meaningful measurement of candle-to-candle volatility changes that we also constantly monitor with our RRR indicator (see Market Scanner Pro’s third column below. Note NG’s reading, which may give us work for the upcoming sessions).
Make sure you give AHG’s post a good read, and then study closely how The Remek! Suite v4.50 puts professional trading onto your desktop!
