Hello Chris,
When you refer to using astrology, what did you find? Were you
coding your own, calling "C' modules, or using add-ons to tradestation? Did
you test with helio, geo and declination cycles or some combo of them?.
Hope you don't mind me asking these questions. Did you followup on previous
work, like Donald Bradley etc.? Thanks for whatever info you'd be willing
to share.
Happy trading , Tim
