Doug:

The answer is: NO.
Do not trade this.

Try running this with some realistic Slippage and Commission
numbers and you will see why.  If the system takes ALL entries
and ALL exits on LIMIT orders than book minimum round turn of
$25. (NO STOP LOSS.  ALL means ALL !!!)

If you have stop loss orders plus market entries/ exits or stop
order entries and exits, then try $150 to $250 for slippage and
commission.  (I would test with $250 unless you are a genius at
execution.)

ONce you take out S+C this system would bleed money.

Also, for a system that took 442 trades, your largest winner at
7.7% of net is a bit suspect.  Try removing the ten largest
WINNING trades and see how you like the system. (Ten trades = 2 %
of trades or about +2 Std Dev.)
