In a message dated 98-08-21 23:42:18 EDT, you write:

<<   The net profits were widely separated, but 
 generally in line with the number of trades. (between 200 and 300 trades) 
 The max drawdowns were fairly consistent. >>

I'd like to know if you gave a fair amount for commissions and slippage.  With
so many trades, failure to consider these charges will give you a profitable
system when in the real world your system would lose money.
