Indeed it is too good. My wife says I am dreaming. But that's what 
backtest reports. It's not me. It's the program.

As any trading system does, you always get a signal first.
So the program works like this (daily based):
1) Detect a buy signal
2) Buy at Open next day. (and/or cover)
.... hold till ...
3) Detect a sell siganl
4) Sell at open next day, immediately go short
5) loops back to 1)

simple as that.

BTW, I don't like Porche GT. So don't worry about that.
