I don't really have a problem with your system at all. I was just addressing the way you presented the returns. By saying that the recommendations gave 8.3% returns, it leads one to believe that they would have 8.3% returns if they followed all the recommendations. But then you said that it was really 3.7% returns if you count the days that the recommendations were negative.
All I'm saying is that is true for most systems. If you discount the negative days, many systems will have great returns. I want your system to succeed. I don't have a problem with it. It's just misleading to say that your system generates 8.3% in a month, when really you only counted the days that the system was correct.
Either way, I still believe your system is giving great results. 3.7% in a month is great. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you mean by 8.3% if you ignore the down days.
As far as my monkeys, I'm very open about how it works. There's no magic and no predicting involved. If the S&P's 75 day EMA is greater than the 180 day EMA, the monkey goes to either the C,S,I. It chooses the one that has the fastest movement (up or down) in the past couple of days. If the S&P 75 is less than 180, then it checks to see if the 3 day EMA is greater than the 19 day EMA. If so, it goes to the C,S,I. If neither of those are true, then it goes to G or F based on which one of the two is moving faster.
That's it. That's my system. No magic. No mysterious clouds around my decisions. No vague talk. I am clueless about the market. That's the whole reason I made a simple set of rules to follow.
