better signals,

wow you give me that! you are on your road to recovery and will be well
soon..

>but you have to TRADE the front month.

yep that is somewhat true, see knowing the average frequency of trades per
year i can choose to flip into the next contract early if i know i may
overshoot the expiration. i am always in the market and so i never have to
do a roll trade (my timing is so good) that is not also a flip of direction.
i like avoiding the high and false volatility that is in the trail of the
current contract. i'm blue in the face about now, and wasting my time.

>If you trade the perpetual contract in backtesting you will get unrealistic
results.

my results, i believe are more accurate than any other method ever devised
by man. CSI's owner believes the same as me and Ned Davis obviously believes
the same as me (which i learned from ned) and Jack Swaggert's book believes
the same even though Jack's mouth say's something else.  when you look at
who all has come from the ned davis camp, that are respected market guru's
you will see the pattern if your open minded.
