Hello  Lawrence,

LC> -Lawrence Chan

thats the way i feel about it but the point i missed was that i really
want to understand how a system works before i trade.

a story i have told in the past is that i had some software that would
let  you  throw  everything  including  the  kitchen  sink, in one big
optimizing  process.  i would then look at the most consistent results
on  a  chart  and  quickly dismiss it over and over. then one day "two
years" latter (after looking at thousands of better looking systems as
far  as  the  chart  is concerned) i figured out what the computer had
found  and was enlightened to the NEW logic of what it was telling me.
i  discovered  that  what  looks  good  to  the  human eye and what is
logically  thought  to  be  BEST is not necessarily the best method to
trade.  so  i can understand that FL may work, but it does not have to
black  box  to  work. i had rather make money than have knowledge so i
could  use a FL system in a black box style, but only after seeing one
work  myself.  how  does one get to that point of confidence? time and
money, if theres a short cut i wish I'd known about it long ago.
