Jeff,
The code I've seen does exactly what it's supposed to. It may however
not do what you expect it to.
Jeff & Henry,
The bottom line is this:
The chances of making profits from commercially available systems are
slim.
The chances of making profits from free commercially available systems
are practically zero.
Don't waste time looking for freely available winning strategies.
By all means, use the available tools, but devise your own trading
strategies.
Life is too short.
