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.

  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
