P,
I agree with you when you say "compounding, it is the key benefit to
trading." But are we discussing trading or testing?
If we are discussing testing, I would strongly suggest testing
noncompounded. My reason is this. When you are optomizing and looking
at your results, do you look at percent wins and losses? No, I think
most people who are learning optomization only look at Total Net
Profit or ARR. Which is fine IF thats how you want to test and trade.
But, if you are optomizing with compounding, I think you will find
that more times than not the first few trades you will have big gains
and it will be the compounding from those first trades that will make
the high ARR. If you chart your net profit you will see what I mean.
There is much more to optomizing than this. All of you helped me so
much with Amibroker, maybe I can help you learn about optomizing?
I hope I made myself clear. Sometimes these things are difficult to
explain.
