Revisiting the AggM System (by Mr. Wizard)
I collect stuff. All kinds of stuff, including old, used, and useless/worn-out trading systems. I have dozens of them, and like most collectors, I rummage around in my trading system collection every couple of months to see if there might be an overlooked treasure hiding there. Last month I decided to revisit a system called the AggM.
The AggM trading system was invented by prolific indicator creator David Varadi, and first appeared around 2009. I did many trials of this system back around 2012, added to those in 2018, and re-evaluated the system performance yet again in July.

This week/month really did try to f*** us bears over, but a bear market rally is a bear market rally. Now, obviously things won’t match exactly, but my focus is on seeing 4325 be the last true top to this ridiculous rally. Best of luck next week everyone. Enjoy your weekend!
