By the way, do you have any live statements that we can currently look at?

hi Velocity,
I have a live that's been running for awhile, link at lower post:

PS: I strongly recommend doing this P.SAR as I mentioned, on a retracement via strength indicators, because those are LIKE knowing when SOME KIND of trend is about to happen......right after the strength indicated actual trend move. I have upcoming Invisible_FX_Landscape doing that just fine (well, at least back-tests show so far as good), two indicators to look for crossing of the beginning of a move, and RSI/RVI as alternative choice set-ups as to when to partake of said crossings. Not sure if David can also partake of 1ka's helpful programming work (but it be behoven idea), got his help because I made a thread from get-go that attracted his attention. It often is said back-tests aren't any good for showing future results, but I think I have found it mostly has to do with not taking great care in seeing back-tests/optimizations are replicated via live, and this I do as a careful study any more. Given that then the average optimized performance for previous 3 months SHOULD (!?) be projected into average performance walking forward, no? Other opinions? Can't say I'm any sort of expert YET(!!)_, but hell, if I keep this up I may be (but only as a group member with Pros like 1ka et al)
