My guess is that you will need a combination of indicators, not a
single indicator, to get it above 1.

My best system, covering 934 trades through yesterday and going back
to 1/1/97, gives a Sharpe of 4.57.  That's 5.94 on the long side, but
"only" 2.76 on the short side.  UP Index is 42.80 (48.91 & 3.13) [!],
and K-Ratio is 7.15 (8.92 & 2.82).

PF is 3.51 (5.33 & 2.12).

Don't let *anyone* ever tell you that shorting is the same as going
long, but in reverse!
