Disliked{quote} There is no truth to the length of time past a calendar month that any system requires to prove merit. We don't know that the system failed. We only know that the trader didn't succeed. You are missing the relevant information because I think you are a moron and you are getting defensive. You don't have to be like that. I'm sure a lot of others think you are a moron as well...not like you are picking a fight with them in here.Ignored

Firstly, if time is not used as a basis for determining success, what does? One time wonder system aka a "quickie"?
Secondly, you are assuming the trader didnt succeed.
Thirdly you are assuming the system didnt fail.
Second and third point are closely related. A trader failed because the system failed. But with all systems, there bound to be deviation point in which the system couldnt handle in a certain point of time before coming back to the mean. But OP has already stated that his system works by having 15 years of data to back it up. This could either mean two things: one time off event or system failed because back testing criteria didnt match real time.
And by saying there is no truth in my statement means i am lying! You could say that you dont believe, but by saying there is no truth implied there is falsehood in my statement and yet no basis to back it up in your original quote????
Frankly speaking, my main intention in forex forums in these years was never to troll but to make money. A check with my post history would reveal that i have not offended anyone simply because i choose not to, but posters like you have just made me feel like wearing my troll hat from now on.
