Continuing with the trailing stop thread, astute readers may have 
noticed that my dhScam1 system gave *unbelievable* results. Well, 
here's what might happen if you tried to trade this thing (Buy MOO 
and trail a $450 stop). I didn't get fancy with the code and I'm 
missing some data for this period so the results are only an 
example. There is no allowance for slip/comm so, in spite of the 
strong up trend, the system is a clear loser in real-world trading.

=============

{
system: dhScam2

Similar to dhScam1 except it runs on 2 minute SP data
and uses coded $450 stops instead of the built-in stops.
}

input: trail(1.80);
var: ts(0),hh(0);

if d>d[1] then begin
  buy;
  hh = h;
end;

if h>hh then hh=h;

ts = hh-trail;

exitlong ts stop;
