6/22/2009 12:55:52 AM Below are 3 results from my 1st backtest. Can some please explain what each result means with regard to my backtest. For example, does 0.65:1 mean for every 65 winning trades I had, I had 1 loss? Thanks in advance. W/L Ratio - 0.65:1 Reward/Risk - 24.02 ROI - 5150.68% |

6/22/2009 6:37:03 AM W/L Ratio - 0.65:1 = when you win, you will lose the next 2, 33% wins Reward/Risk - 24.02 = you are on the wrong side of most trades ROI - 5150.68% = look for something else, cause you are just giving it away. = ) hth |

6/22/2009 11:18:32 AM What would be considered a good W/L Ratio, Reward/Risk and ROI%? |

6/22/2009 7:37:44 PM NO, THERE IS NO TUTORIAL. WHY NOT TRY CHANGING YOUR BACKTEST FROM LONG TO SHORT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. |

6/27/2009 10:32:02 AM you should always try your filters both ways (long/short) if not to just get some insight to how stocks move. hth |
