I also do some testing in Excel.<BR/><BR/>While the index trades are quantitatively based, thy are not mechanical. See my post on the Aggregator for how I compile some of my analysis. <BR/><BR/>KR - <BR/><BR/>Yes. It's primarily the long time frame. I'm aggressive but nimble and have recovered drawdowns quickly because of it.<BR/><BR/>For ideas on how aggressive you may want to be with your trades I might suggest reading some of Ralph Vince's work.Rob Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596674657839065754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676650858658561710.post-57127628582017449062009-01-13T14:25:00.000-05:002009-01-13T14:25:00.000-05:00I'm interested in why you are so aggressive in you...I'm interested in why you are so aggressive in your IRA account.
