Paul,

This is very interesting research. I have the Connors book on my shelf, and HGSI provides some tools for the trades. Nonetheless, this type of analysis does not come easily to me. So...please continue. I might even humbly suggest/request a video if you are so inclined.

Many thanks,

I think that Dave summarizes perfectly and concisely what can be said about last year.
I post it here because it resonates well with the discussion that's been going on.

"2011 was a tough year for most. The trend followers had no trend to
follow and the reversion to the mean guys looked pretty smart until
they blew up.

It was a market that rewarded bad behavior. Just the opposite of
what you should do often worked: not using stops, fading the
market, taking small profits, micromanaging, switching systems,
jumping in and out (for longer-term traders) etc...

I'm glad this one's over."

The year may be over but is 2011's legacy, influence, and, worst of all, existence?
