What's wrong with "improving" a system like Oddball by increasing the number
of trades?
Well, in this case this makes the average SP trade little better than 1
point (Oddball gets 2-4) when the performance is based on cash and slippage
is not included. That is a problem. Even on futures, RT slippage is at
least that much. The "improvement" becomes an exercise in self-delusion.
Let me venture the wild guess that the author has never traded this
"awesome, best" system.
