Jack,

CUBS being down is the only truly reliable indicator/system that a move of
substance is on the way, the code runs something like this:

If {Public} marketposition= -1 then {pull out the plugs and} buy at market;
If {Public} marketposition=+1 then {pull out the plugs and} sell at market;

{Remember to hit all stops, report late fills, only take mkt orders}
