Re: Systems tester query

There must be something missing. What this sysytem does is buy anytime the 5
day rate of change is negative and the close is below the 5 day average, but
the last day was an up close. For rip snorting bulls it MIGHT work. BTW the
5 day RSI is not needed--- RSI can ONLY rise if  price does.
