However, $3,000 does seem high. I may hold off for a while until
there's more positive feedback on this thread. It may work just
great - but there are a number of other TA programs out there.

Here's the feedback from MicroStar on runs they did for me on CSCO.

I would be interested to take a look at other runs for stocks that
did poorly over the last year. For those who are also considering
this software just request a run using one of these stocks.

** For those that have Indgio - please consider using the exact same
parameters used above for CSCO and doing the same simulation.

Do your numbers match those above?

You need to know what you're getting for $3k!!

Thanks,

David.
