Oddball Followers,

I said that if someone sent me more data that I would post more results.
Here they are.  These reulsts compare Mark's unedited code to Oddball
Directional Bias1 (the one using moving averages for direction).  I did not
have the Advance/Decline data for this time period, so I can't post the
results for Oddball Dierectional Bias2.  If anyone wants to send me the data
for this time period (either advancing/declining issues or just declining
issues) then I'd be happy to post the results for those as well.

David

PS By the way I thought some might be interested in results for trading
Oddball original but just changing the time of trading form 0930 to 1100.
See bottom of post.
PPS Results are inconclusive for this time change with Oddball DIrectional
Bias, but profits were slightly increased here.
