<DIV><FONT size=2>If anyone has the temerity to say that any TA system or
formula just might be useful in making money, there's a howl of pshaws
by a mob of skeptics. One wonders what the heck the skeptics are doing with
Metastock, if not using it to develop formulas and systems. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What could they be doing with Metastock? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Making colorful tablemats during crafts hour at the group
home?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. Staring at charts to relax the mind at the ashram,
while chanting "I look only at moving averages," "I look only
at moving averages," "I look only at moving averages"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. Gathering extensive evidence to debunk the reviled
oscillators on mail lists?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4. Staring at price and volume, cuz all that formula
stuff don't make no sense, no never mind, and no money?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>5. Coloring price bars magenta, purple and blue?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>6. Trying to play Metastock CD over and over again in music CD
player, on the mistaken impression that Achelis is a rock group. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>7. Feeding that nasty TA software habit?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What, pray tell? Whatchoo doin' with it? If it's something
clean and wholesome, let us know. Let Metastock know. Maybe it could be
marketed for other uses. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>With the daily interval for AMAT, for example, the Boll.
band system was consistently profitable for a period of 2 years. In fact,
there wasn't one losing long trade, and that's with no stops. There were two
losing short trades, and yet even the short trades as a whole netted a profit.
I can think of worse systems. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Here's the latest entry signal, at the lower B band
(yellow). There's a percentage formula for getting in, but it's proprietary,
as it were. See that beautiful bounce? That comes from buying at the lower
band. Yes indeedy. Don't work was made to work, I guess. </FONT></DIV>
