There are all kinds of problems developing a mechnical system that will always
produce profits.  The first - for most EOD longer term traders like me - is
that I don't do short positions.  If you don't do short positions - you can't
make money in a bear market.  About the best a system will do is keep you out
of the market most of the time - and minimize your losses.  Robyn
