Eddy- You've obviously put alot of hard work into your alogrithm. I can see why you are frustrated that virtually no one recognizes its usefulness.

A little critique to hopefully aid your marketing:

I know it works great for you- but as you stated, you've spent years working intimately with it. That may cloud your view of how it appears.

Unfortunately, using the alogrithm requires a few things that make it less than ideal for the average Joe.

1) It suffers from the 'Greenspan Syndrome'. It is not immediately clear what it says. It requires some work to uncover the keys. The average Joe wants something simple and clear, and right NOW.

2) It requires some analytical ability and effort to transfer the numbers to actions. Again, this is more work than most people will want to do, and impossible for some to do period.

and finally
3) Most people would prefer to get HARD SIGNALS telling them what to do- i.e. Buy or Sell. Making the decision is the toughest part- and many will pay good money to have someone else make the tough calls. That's why managers, and money managers in particular are paid so well.

Don't take it wrong- I think you've got a good alogrithm. The only thing holding it back is how to present it in a manner that people will buy into.

good luck,
TW
