It is a position trading low frequency trading system with two 
parameters (not one as advertised, only one is set, and you can't 
change it). From what I've seen, you need a big account (ie $100.000+) 
for drawdowns can be quite large and long in duration. Diversification 
is an absolut must, as some markets can spend ten years going nowhere.

Performance figures are to be halved at least to adjust for an account 
size that would limit drawdowns to 25%. For free, you get a system on 
turtletrader which seems to do about the same as aberration. 
Don't buy their other stuff though, you'll waste your money, they won't 
show any track record whatsoever beforehand, and they don't trade. Both 
are a bad omen.
