Oddball as a daytrading filter

Recently someone asked if anyone had tried uing OB as a filter for a shorter
term/time frame system.  *For illustration purposes only*, what follows is
the stats for a daytrading system, first without OB as a filter and second
with OB as a filter.  Pay special attention to the number of trades/average
profit per trade.

- The OB permission is Mark's original code but with 0 as the BZ/SZ
- I am not saying this will or will not work for your system;
- Please do not e-mail me asking for the system.
- This is for illustration purposes only and I make no claims about the
validity of this method.



NO OB FILTER
