Unfortunately, Futures Truth isn't all it claims to be either. They are
the indirect vendor of some of the trading systems they
monitor.(Stafford Trading)  There has also been some talk of problems
with the way they test.  Problems with their data, rollover
techniques,etc.  They are probably better than most but I have never
seen any type of test done that shows RT trading equalling what their
hypothetical tests show.
