Let me be honest here - I am not a systems back tester.   However, - here is
what I have learned and use somewhat
from Alex Elder and Dan Gramza.    They both backtest by eye on the chart
and both adhere to this.

I don't find this easy but I am prepared to take it on board and do as much
as I can.     I think it applies more
to taking a product and moving in and out of it fairly constantly.    Here I
am able to be corrected ?????
I am a stocks trader only.

May I mention here that Alex Elder has one of his regular weeklong Camps
coming up next July - back in Fiji - where
he had the first South Pacific Camp in 1999.      He holds several a year
and hasn't been down here for a couple of
years now.    The other tutor will be Gerald Apell - the Father of the MACD.
I heard him last year and found
his further usage of the MACD - including differing number for different
markets - pretty amazing.   He will be speaking
each afternoon and Alex each morning and excellent and very detailed notes
are available so that what isn't taken
in and retained can be restored at a later and less exciting time.

There are already quite a few bookings/enquiries including some from NZ - it
is on his Website  www.elder.com
but if anyone wants to speak to me about it Iam v happy to answer any
enquiries (and probably give a few
thoughts of my own!!!)
Phyllis.
