gaomfen,

I don't see how your signals are disappearing unless you are using a 
zigzag indicator (referencing future quotes) or Omnitrader software 
(LOL, but I am serious).

On a swing trade system (4-20 day holds), per AB settings one usually 
buys at open the next day after buy signal. I have, 75% of the time 
been able to get better price by waiting until 10-10:30 New York 
Time, thereby actually improving the system performance.

If you like, post your system and the AFL pro's here will tell you 
why your signals disappear.

Jim
