Thanks for your fine efforts in developing the code for this trading
system. We all appreciate what you have done. I have tried out the
system with the ETF's used in the article and came up with "less than
spectacular" results. Using $10,000 as the positon, over the past
year It resulted in a gain of $241.13. There were 8 trades during the
year (3 wins & 5 losses). All of the profit was made with one ETF
held for almost a year (IJS). Drawdown was -12.17%. I also tested
the system with the ETF sectors and lost money ... ditto the PROFund
sectors. Has anyone else tried the system? If so results? Perhaps it
can be improved with some fine tuning ... any ideas?
