No longer active on bitcointalk, however, you can still reach me via PMs if needed.

2013-10-14 03:00 Simulation started. Balance: 1000.00 USD
2013-10-14 03:00 BUY 1.873 BTC at 132.82
2013-10-26 11:00 Simulation completed. Balance: 1.873 BTC (345.28 USD)+750.00 USD
Buy and Hold: $1311.7015509712394
This Strategy: $1095.2759373588315
Can someone explain me this? What difference between "Buy and Hold" and single Buy and Hold made in this simulation? |

Can someone explain me this? What difference between "Buy and Hold" and single Buy and Hold made in this simulation? Isn't it obvious? The real "Buy and Hold" means buying for full USD position, not only 1/4 of it. |

I had a typo when calculating buy and hold -- I entered 0.95 to account for the fee instead of 0.995. |

Well, Round 4 is over.
We couldn't ask for a better chance, had two big price dips and nobody properly handled it. May I suggest something for (eventual) future round: Maybe the wining algorithm should be the one which handles the whole year 2013 best? I know that comparing past instead of future performance opens the way for cheating, but any references to specific date or price should be forbidden. IMHO the algorithm which is most profitable in the very long term is the most valuable to everybody. |

Nice one-liner with avg = instrument.vwap(20) , can't get shorter than that, you win  Don't have an idea what "Turtle Trading System" is, off to read some google links to find out. Regarding the contest idea for the whole year 2013 I've suggested, how many of you are for it that we organize our own winning pool for it? We can each, for instance, give 0.1 BTC in the pool and if there are 10 of us that may make things interesting. I understand pulsecat for not willing to risk 2BTC again after 4 unsuccessful rounds, but we can make our own fun with this, and might actually learn something valuable for 0.1BTC invested. Please tell me what you think even if you are not for it. |

great idea! count me in for a contest beginning at 2014-01-01 and ending at 2014-12-31 (or for any other period, but more interested in a long time contest)  |

great idea! count me in for a contest beginning at 201 4-01-01 and ending at 201 4-12-31 (or for any other period, but more interested in a long time contest) I suppose you've meant 2013, not 2014? It would be a bit too long to wait a whole year for the results  |

Please tell me what you think even if you are not for it. Right, the goal of the contest was to find out what strategies could outperform B&H in the short term, because obviously in the long term it is less profitable than even basic strategies. But i really like the idea of donation-based contest and can help with organization if there are enough people willing to join in. |

It's better idea to try one more month-long round IMHO. Let's see what others think. Maybe pulsecat offers to double the amount we collect  |
