He did have an aberration in his chart. If you want, and it is still in my e-mail, I can forward it to you.

Without looking, The bulk of the Swing Technique had lower prices with one possible scenario that the market would trend up today. Beacuse of the low probability it was discounted. Because it was a mechanical system it was an unwise move.

If you traded off it you would have stopped yourself out...but that's the problem with mechanical systems...you go with the odds based on what the system tells you and remove any external issues that should biase your trading decision one way or the other.

This is why I have problems with mechanical systems. Too inflexible for me.
