Hey,

after all the mess kugutsumen created in the contest thread of cryptotrader, I decided to take a deep look into the strategy, and I'm pretty sure, that I found the bug.

When you take a look on http://ichimokutrader.com/elements.html#Chikou you see, that the Chikou should be backplaced, and in the http://ichimokutrader.com/signals.html page at the bottom you can see, that it should be compared with the price now.

So to state it clearly, its nothing else but comparing the actual price with the price 28 (or whatever) days ago.

Putting this into the strategy leads to following results:

However, its not as fancy, as the results look like. Actually, they trade totally the same except on the big crash 4/10.

This lead to an advantage of around 14%, that just transfered to now. And you can reassure this, all the results kugutsumen posted, differ by the exact amount, meaning his algorithm doesnt differ much as medjis.

Thank you kugutsumen anyway, as I wouldn't have found it, without someone mentioning it.

Until today I just read in this forum, so I'm not eligble to post anything, so it would be nice, if you can post this in the contest thread as a quote.
