Nicholas,
I ran a quicky test and like yourself did not obtain outstanding results but
the win/loss ratio was pretty high. Steve(and maybe he'll reply) was looking
to catch the extremes which in the case of the FO does have a pretty high
reward ratio. The canned version of the FO has a moving average and the
cross of the FO over its MA from extremes is quite rewarding.
