Dimitris,

I think you don't get that 'signals of the past' are in the past. It's 
history and as such is meaningless. Hurst developed his work before 
computers had the power to do billions of computations per second. 
Therefore, the idea of backtesting his work is a waste of time.

The Sigma Bands we are discussing seem to be a derivative of the Hurst 
Dependency Envelopes, so ably programmed by Ace... and much appreciated 
too. I feel there is nothing at all to be gained from 1) looking into 
the past or 2) trying to guess the future.  I want to know what is 
happening right now. The Sigma Bands MAY offer some insight into what 
the market is saying now, but should never be used to trade any market 
by themselves. This information should always be used as confirmation of 
other indicators and trading techniques.

Computers will never replace the human brain.
