That seems very odd, given that the report is a GIF screenshot of an 
Omega TS report!  Complete with the icons &etc at the top.  And the 
button specifically says "Omega Tradestation Report."

About the only way they could have done that without actually running 
the system in TS would be to 1) laboriously create a GIF that 
duplicates the exact look of the TS report, even the icons at the top 
(why??), or 2) create a fake system that buys and sells at exactly 
the points where their model says to buy/sell, e.g. something like
  if Date = 990610 then buy at XXX.X stop;
  if Date = 990610 then sell at YYY.Y stop;

But even that really couldn't work, since they ran it on daily data, 
and you can't trust any system that enters and exits on stops in the 
same bar.

This whole thing seems very fishy.  I would suggest taking a look at 
the daily signals it generates, and see what kind of price action 
actually happens intraday.  See if you believe the results of the 
report.
