DT:  I find this quite interesting after plotting and backtesing numbers
of stocks and watchlists.

I do not understand .... " All signals are based on ^NDX chart."

I do not understand the use of the SetForeign command and what it does
in this context.  I comment it out and nothing changes.  

Errrrrr.....I just changed "^NDX" to my index symbol "NDX-X" and the
returns tripled......Errrrrr......Why??

This was attractive when I was using it incorrectly, and now it is even
better.

How do you come up with these things???????

Thanks for any further explanation.

Ken

The main purpose was to show the use of inflection points.
The results are not bad, if you consider it is a TTM [Trade The 
Market] system. All signals are based on ^NDX chart. 
This approach [and the successful behavior of the majority] gives a 
good reason to use ^NDX as a trading platform.
The comparison with B&H is also good to me.
We didn't decide on Jan1 to Buy & Hold, as far as I remember !!
We mainly decided to trade a cloudy market with very sad bearish 
memories. When I was searching, last spring, for prolonged uptrend 
indications, the request was a bit funny, many traders were waiting 
another bearish episode and *nobody* would trust a B&H strategy.The 
other useful result of this study is the transformation of Price 
directly into an oscillation [without the indirect methods like RSI, 
Stochastics etc]. Give me some time, the project is ready, but it 
needs the bloody writing time !!
Thank you for your comments.
