Hi mroman59,
Your mail makes me wonder :
1. Do you know any software covering your 10 points plus details ?
If any, please advise.
2. Any reference for your "Beating the Trend" system ?
If it is available to you, I am sure you will have at least 5 full
codes+backtesting+modifications+suggestions in the next 24h.
I will appreciate your comments,
Dimitris Tsokakis
