>Not sure where your work will eventually take you, but one thing to keep in mind, APD is not useful unless all net profits are totaled separately from the total of all the max DDs.
It is still useless because your max DDs are all bogus…
>Trying to do anything like using averages of each trade (NP/maxDD) will yield horrendously skewed results, because some days you will have things like $3000 / $0 and other days $0 / $4750 (infinite or zero-division).
It is already horrendously skewed, so it wont make any difference…
>I think in the end, trying to get clever with it will not cause it to be much better, except perhaps for systems that tend to have many no calcs. But on the other hand, the result without the max DDs (no calcs) may only lead to different problems.
Your max DDs are all bogus, so whatever you do with is null and void…
>The more pragmatical solution is to warn that the APD is not sound for these systems.
For any system…
@Cheetah: Thanks for the example. Seems that the effect can indeed be large in real examples.
@Ross: Yes, the totals have to taken separately, before the division, I agree.
@Pal: The only bogus I see here is from you.
From Scripture:
who we should help: The lame, the blind, the widows, the orphans
who is beyond help: The Palsuns
Spoken like another typical evader…
From Scripture:
who we should help: You may and should help another man, or befriend him, or love him, if in the full context you - your values, your judgment, your life - are upheld thereby and protected. The principle of your action must be self-interest. You may never properly accept the role of selfless servant to others or the status of sacrificial animal.
who is beyond help: The Evaders like Jules, Ross, Sam, ST et. al.,
I find it interesting that Paulsun made it into scripture.
Now the nastiest guy on these forums is bible thumping.
Clever, Palsun. Did you create this structure yourself or did you steal it from Ross (using the Palsun thing about cheaters and stealers of useless indicators)
And who in the world is Neil Boyd?
And does using false aliases add to the respect and character you expect and hope to gain on a public forum, or does it more make you seem like a witless dweeb?
Parlez vous anglais?
Ironic some one using multiple aliases, who constantly
changes system names, and flips them from test to non-test
mode, accuses others of being “evaders”.

This scripture is not from the bible. The bible is a good book, but it is not the only book…
Just as the moral and the practical go together, so do the immoral and the impractical. Just as the virtuous is the efficacious, so the evil is the impotent. Evil, means the willful ignorance or defiance of reality. This has to mean: that which cannot deal with reality, that which is whim-ridden, context-dropping, self-contradictory. Evil is consistent in only one regard: its essence is consistently at war with all the values and virtues human life requires.
The antilife is barren. It achieves only the antilife.
Irrational men (Ross, Sam et.al.) qua irrational cannot achieve anything of value (observe they are yet to create a successful system). Their actions are necessarily self-defeating.
