    Billy,

    and how real time 20 DMF backtesting is going? Any interesting news out there? And actually, what is the main purpose of real-time 20DMF - is it done to improve current methodology and make it more sophisticated, or to find new edges, say intraday trading?

    Thank you.

    P.S. Excellent collection of up-to-date trading thoughts and citations in your original post.

    Adriano,

    I prefer to let Pascal present the new real-time system once he feels ready to introduce it to the group.
    Giving bits and pieces of information at this stage is premature.

    Because the robots do use volatility-based stops, current high volatility would force them to enter new positions with initial stops 8-10% away from entry.
    This is where position sizing comes into play. Personally I position size everything from robot trades to discretionary trades. I never use a fixed $ amount or a fixed account %.

    thanks

    Billy--

    Your thoughts on the matter are themselves very precise. And I appreciate them very much.

    To know you and Pascal have worked with Dr. Kacher on these problems is once more confirmation of the high standards found here and how fortunate I am to have found you all.

    (In truth, I followed a little trail: IBD --> Morales/Kacher --> HGSI --> Paul Duncan --> Value in Time and now the EV website. This trail is highly recommened).

    Best,

    I, too, found my way here through the Gilmo Report in 2009. Indeed a great path to follow, Nickola!
