Found a system called catscan (could be number 9 on your list) on the net
somewhere. I sincerely hope nobody paid money for this.

Subject: Top 10 Systems of All Time
Dear List,
I was looking through my old Futures mags and ran across an article
titled
'Top 10 Trading Systems of All Time' in the July 1997 issue. Below
is a
list of the systems. Usually I can not trade portfolio systems
because they
require to much capital but the non-portfolio systems look
interesting. If
anyone has some detail on these systems post it to the list.
1.) Time Trend III
Oscillator system that changes to trend following when certain
conditions
are met.
2.) Culler Currency System
Volatility breakout system.
3.) DCS II
Based on n-day breakout with trailing stop.
4.) Dollar Trader
Long term system. Average nine traders per year.
5.) Grand Cayman
Portfolio system
6.) R-Breaker
Breakout and counter trend S&P day-trading system
7.) Universal LT
Volatility based breakout system for a portfolio.
8.) Aberration
Long term posrtfolio system
9.) Catscan I
Trades differently for trending and choppy markets
10.) Combo Advantage
Black Box System.
