the system performs as previously listed. Last time i looked up in the sky, the sun and the moon failed to orbit around a mechanical trading system. The system has been doing very well, much better than i. Why? well for one thing at times i think i am smarter than the computer and i will not take a signal or i may go in the opposite direction, invariably whenever i have done that, the computer has always been right, and i have always been wrong. Secondly, the computer does not time its trades on when its convenient for me. It will decide to make a trade when i may not be available, perhaps i am getting something to eat, or visiting the throne room. Sometimes, my data feed will have a lapse, or the isp will belch, or the computer will crash.....the mechanical system does not care about such real world problems. So even having a very good mechanical system does not insure that the system can or will be implemented as the system intends. ps i will not comment further about the system 'shouldn't have said anything in the first place
