The way I should have tested........

[TwoCatSam]

I have learned a few things I should have done while conducting my tests.  I am posting this in hopes others may benefit and I may look back and remember.

Here is what a test should look like:

[table=,]
Date,,Real$P/L,,@Spin#,,Real$Total,,@Spin100,,@Spin150,,@spin200,,Total@100,,Total@150,,Total@200,,All-Time High,,@Spin#,,Max Down,,,@Spin#
9.21.8,,50,,67,,50,,234,,978,,-1,,-543,,765,,213,,821,,175,,-543,,100
[/table]

This is the way I will play beginning October 1st.  Partly with real money; partly just for study.  I will do my numbers 200 at a trot, but I don't know if I can do 200 a day.  That's a lot.

For those who want to know, putting in more than one comma will space out your chart.

Date,,Real $ P/L,, and so on.  Makes it easier to read.

Comments?  If some of you testers think of something that you feel would add to the veracity of the study, please mention it.

nicely done Sam... Drawdown is very important, as it shows your "true low"
