First I modified the code to calculate a realistic position size for each
trade (see the part about "value99"), and then ran it on a daily SP chart
back to 1982. Following is the code and the system report. Don't think I'll
be trading this one.

Inputs: Length(35), StdDevUp(2.0), StdDevDn(-2.0);
Vars: UpBand(0), DnBand(0), Ave(0);

value99=2000/(xaverage(truerange,50)*bigpointvalue);
UpBand = BollingerBand(Close,Length,StdDevUp);
DnBand = BollingerBand(Close,Length,StdDevDn);

Ave = Average(Close,Length);

if ( MarketPosition = 0 ) and ( Close > UpBand )
 then Buy("BE") value99 contracts tomorrow at market; {Enter Long}

if ( MarketPosition = 0 ) and ( Close < DnBand )  then Sell("SE") value99
contracts tomorrow at market; {Enter Short}

if ( MarketPosition = 1 ) and ( Close < Ave )
 then ExitLong("LX") today at close; {Exit Short}

if ( MarketPosition = -1 ) and ( Close > Ave )
 then ExitShort("SX") today at close; {Exit Long}
