If Aberration is simply a Bollinger band system as was posted on here a
short time ago, then I would say it is a ridiculous piece of useless cr**.
If it happens to work on any market, I would say it is pure chance.  As it
was posted, anyone with 1 week of TA training could program it.  Is this
what they mean by "simple is better?"
