Title: I've observed the same sort of behavior.  I believe that erratic price behavior is due to the removal of a familar economic and trading framework.  Businesses, earnings, and actors in the trading process are no londer predictable so trading is becoming erratic.  Also markets have been trading essentially sideways for the past year so you'll find choppy erratic behavior. Your system may be tuned for different behavior.  Track performance measures (more than one) of your system and watch the equity curve.  You may need a new system. -- John Sean Cassidy wrote: 000f01c1a61e$2b74f740$8b0b2c42@xxxxxx"> I essentially trade alone from my my house and because of that, tend to be somewhat isolated at times. I was just wondering ....have the last two months been exceptionally difficult to trade? I have been using a system that works very well on stocks. It has consitently generated returns of 8% or better per month. In january, however, this number dropped to about 5%. I guess it is the nature of system trading...but i just want to know how others are doing......or is it possible that my system is beginning to decay? I have heard they do that. I have ot watching 7 fairly big stocks...aol, ge, flex, psft, intc, nok, qqq and amgn.   Any advice...consolation or whatever would help. My primary concern is this a very errratic difficult market that will settle down....or is my system that has workked so well beginng to slip.....   Thanks   Sean -- _____________________________________________________John T.
