I received that data from a mutual fund owner/manager.  He used a breakout
system.  All trades were computer generated and computer entered, so there
was no human factor as to entering or exiting a trade.  The fund netted its
investors 14% return at the time.  The fund received a 5% management fee and
7% of the profits.   That is all that I remember.  I received these facts
about 10 years ago and I believe that the percentages are probably less in a
non trending market.  The did both futures and stock.   At the time I
believe the fund had about $250,000,000 under management.   For the life of
me I can't remember the name of the fund or the managers name.  I have
looked high and low for his card and that has eluded me also.  Those senior
moments seem to be getting closer together.   Ira
