If you look at the performance numbers to 30 June Richard Dennis is up 37%
for the 6 months to 30 June. This is despite Trend Followers probably
having their worst year ever.  Maybe Rich Dennis has become a range trader
-but he is definitely in there plugging away. 

Every trader has their cycle of good bad and ugly periods.  Some are just
more publicly spectacular!!!

| <smaller>Mr. J. Welles Wilder, some 20 years ago,
| 
| wrote a book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems"
| 
| Anybody using software/systems with names such as:
| 
| * Parabolic System
| 
| * Directional Movement System (ADX-DM+DM-)
| 
| * Volatility System
| 
| * Relative Strength System (RSI)
| 
| is using Wilder's work, knowingly or unknowingly.
| 
| It is even included free in some of Omega's Software today, 
| 
| and perhaps used by members of this list.
| 
| I am not sure whether Mr. Wilder ever received any thanks 
| 
| for releasing these classics into the public domain.
| 
| With respect to Mr. Wilder's ancient CTA performance, I would also direct

| the focus to such legends like Richard Dennis, John Henry and Mr. 
| Niederhoffer! As the facts indicate, trading success was, and is, not 
| always a permanent condition with any trader
