Now the mystery is why our dad didn't get the sell signal until Friday as
opposed to Jimmy and I getting it on Thursday. I'm having him print off his
last 10 days of input and send it to me so that I can check out which one of
us made the error. Out IT system doesn't use the MD data directly, but is
entered by hand into our Clipper system.
This is one of the things I will be working on to correct. It's rare, but
not uncommon for us to come up with different results, especially between
the Clipper program and MS.

Guy,
Best of luck! My system seems to be setting up for a buy signal soon,
but it hasn't yet and I may be reading the tea leaves wrong. Anyway, I
agree that if you are going to use a system, you have to follow it. Once
you start second guessing, you are finished <G>.
