There are different strengths of signals and there can be quite a bit of subjectivity to it. I use daily, weekly, and in some cases monthly data and compare the results. I am also using a lot of conventional TA. I would say the system is very good at finding local highs or lows. Not useful to say how big the move will be and how long it will last is unpredictable too. So that is one reason I am moving towards selling options. In down trends it will tend to give a series of local bottoms but won't give many sell signals. And in an uptrend it tends to give a lot of local highs but not so many buy signals. I've only recently learnt how to pick the really big tops and bottoms. It would be hard to mechanise the system. The variables are the natural logarithm of the closing stock or index price and its first difference.
