Bob,

Those results are very compelling.  I wish I had kept all the details on the
system that you tested and the filters (particularly Z) but I haven't.  Any
chance of a re-post?  Hope someone can supply you with the data you need to
continue your testing.  It's a service to us all.
thanks,

                    OEX Points  #Trds/#Wins  Wins  LngWins  ShrtWins
 Straight P/C Ratio   122.65       43/30      70%     83%      65%
 OSS Filter           155.51       22/20      91%     100%     88%
 Z Score Filter       171.59       25/20      80%     100%     72%
 Both Filters         110.52       17/13      76%     100%     67%
 
 OSS and Z Score filters are derived from OEX/VIX computations as
 discussed on RealTraders many moons ago (and are an intricate part of
 BobR's excellent work).  The P/C Ratio system with the Z Score filter
 produced the best results, significantly increasing OEX points while
 reducing the number of trades (and commissions).
 
 A careful look at the above table will show you why I'm anxious to get
 my hands on this OEX Put and Call Volume Data.  Does this year just
 happen to be a fluke, or will these results hold up over time?
 
 BTW, Friday's P/C signal triggered a buy and it also passed the Z Score
 filter. According to the rules of the system as originally proposed by
 Kurt Kallaus, one would look to buy Monday's open with the intent of
 liquidating the position two days later, on Wednesday's open.
 
 Again, if anyone can help me get my hands on OEX Put and Call volume
 data, it would be very much appreciated (and I'd be happy to share my
 findings).
