Hi Quant,

Thank you for posting this intriging idea. I love simple ideas and this
couldn't be simpler. I'm have been working on developing a similar system
myself. Could you answer some questions about this trading method?

1. Can you elaborate on what you mean by the time filter? Do you mean it
doesn't enter during certain times of the day or something else?

2. On what basis did you select the stocks used in the test?

3. Over what period of time were the trades done (months, years, etc.)?

4. Were the trades held overnight or daytraded (exit on the close)?

5. If held overnight, what were the exit criteria?

Thank you for your candidness.

Gila
