Well, here's a "system" that loses money:

1. Watch ticks on a real time feed.
2. "Sense" a 5-10 minute of low volatility.
3. Place brakout entry order above and below that (2) range.
4. Reverse positions on stop losses.
5. Or, hold on to losing positions until you get a margin call.

Does that help?
