Paul,

I trade the DM and Jy that way and it is very successful when combined with
a filter.  I have not been
able to duplicate the results in other markets.

Interestingly, this concept was the "Sample Trading System" included in
System Writer by Omega
years ago.  It was several years before I investigated the concept because
it seemed to simple to be of much use.
