Lawrence,
Bought Indigo about a month ago. I would call it a very dark gry box. You
can optimize parameters but you don't know exactly what the parameters do.
You trade individual stocks or portfolios of stocks with their systems.
They also have rotational models that have a basket of stocks and move into
different stocks based on their systems. Some of their models have been
extremely profitable in the past but many of those were internet and
technology models. Most of these have been moving down recently with the
drop in internet and technology. The program gives you specific buy and
sell instructions each day.
I also bought Galaxy III, their futures program. Haven't had a change to
play with that yet but did get some information from Futures Truth on four
commodities that they follow. Three of the four commodities have done
pretty poorly but coffee had made quite a bit of money. Problem is, it had
a huge runup about four years ago, then was flat for 2 1/2 years and did
very well again recently. My sense is that you would have to be very careful
with that program. It's also a dark gray box.
Dave
