It's unfortunate you get so many crashes, as the CATNN would obviously be better for you. Time periods don't mean anything to me. I have extra machines I can use so even if one had to be dedicated for 91 hours then as long as I .

Oddly enough, I considered your suggestion about using what I "know" over other indicators when I started. But what I use for intraday has no applicability for position trading. Much in the same fashion that the reverse would not hold.

Advance/Decline, for example, is of little use when one is trying to scalp a few points counter-trend intraday. Or even with the trend, for that matter.

Intraday, I rely on indicators like PREM and TIKI. I doubt either would help much positioning.

Instead, I have a combination of CBOE indicators like VIX, P/C ratios, Index Option volume, NYSE stats and a few other things. The original variable list on the current systems may be as high as 11 or 12 each excluding the OHLC on the traded index.

I think what I am hoping to garner from these books is the "why" about transforming (if that is the word) these variables with hyperbolic tangents and so forth. I need to know the theory before I can be comfortable with the process. I'm confident I shall get somewhere with it; I just don't wish to stumble blindly, hoping I shall nail a good system by accident.
