TA has performed well, and has always given very accurate results, and is well documented in this section.

Glad to hear that (and I agree, in principle).

So, why not test that claim over a bigger market and a longer time horizon and see by what factor you outperform the market?



Here are my own results, after playing ~30 rounds.



I played each of the charts I was given rather quick & dirty, no deep analysis, just basic momentum. Outperforming b&h by about a factor of 2 so far.

6131 days = 16.78 yrs !! Thats a great amount of trading experience.

I will have to compile all results precisely, to reach comparison. But I agree that its better than buy & hold strategy by at least a
factor of 2x to 5x.
