Now we are in the last weeks of the year - time to compare how the system went over time.
In the thread is discussed how the rules were slightly optimized - I will not repeat here.

Last year week 46 was at the year end result - the last weeks 2012 were not changing this any more.

Points made end of week 46
Year 2012: 1011
Year 2013: 909 (expecting here some more points in the coming weeks)

Actual chart of weekly points made in 2013




Discussion:
Both years show quite similar returns. There was a steady gain development without big drawdowns.
In 2013 were less trades taken than in 2012 (normally 3 per week instead of 5).
So given a gain of rough 1'000 yearly future points X 25€ (per point with IB) this nets 25K € in year per car
on a margin which ranged between 6400 to 10'600€ per car in the given 2 years.

End note: The system (rules) looks quite robust over 2 years under the pressure of so many very
different influences and quite different development of the Dax in both compared years.

Thanks @xelaar

If margin is lower - the gain per point must be less too
In the whole thread I was showing only one provider for better comparison for the reader.

Of course I will check your Mirus input!
Happy weekend
