No, not sold on the SFX (though the coincidence with the ticker for my favorite airport is numinously intriguing...ever flown into SFX on a clear, winter's day? beautiful!)...and now a bit depressed about the whole idea. I've been looking at several tests over a 1 year period. It seems that some stocks work very well for short bursts of time, and then they go off. And when they go off, if you were to keep trading them, you would be out of business very quickly. With our hourly system, this is manageable, because we can more quickly monitor when a stock goes stale. But when trading EOD, it can take weeks before you realize you are in the wrong market. Yes, I've used WSC's charts before, and it is instructive. But I prefer to check the signals tick by tick, which you can do with BEI. TC
