Lindsay, IBM is actually a good choice for mechanical trading, but
keep in mind that individual equities and industry groups have their
own long and short term rhythms. IBM for example usually behaves very
differently from a bubble stock like AOL. Look at a number of
different stocks from different groups, and intuit what you can about
how they work before you try to design a mechanical system. Then keep
in mind that no one system can be ideal for all stocks or all markets,
and that something that's optimized for one stock may well fail on
others. Still, some systems cross over much better than others, and
the way to find out which ones do is to play.
