Survey Results - Part 1

Thanks to everyone who participated in my survey.  The next 2 or 3 posts will present the results.  Hopefully, knowing the results of a large group of people will give you some guidance into what is "best."

As a reminder, here were the questions:

1. What kind of trader would you consider yourself?

2. Do you perform historical testing before trading a strategy with real money?

3. For the past 3 years, how would you describe your real money trading results?

Here are the results:

1. What kind of trader would you consider yourself?

2. Do you perform historical testing before trading a strategy with real money?

3. For the past 3 years, how would you describe your real money trading results?

In the next post, I'll dig a bit deeper and try to find out answers to questions like:

"What type of trader is more likely to be profitable?"

"Does backtesting length influence future profits?"

Etc.

STAY TUNED!!
