"My other point was when I integrated at least Dahl, and Insynch as fixed values...ie..when >0 for Dahl, and >20 as enter for Insynch, the positive trades were decreased over 30-50% at times, and +/- on decreased loosing trades. It is far better to actually look at these charts individually to see if they are trending upwards than using an actual fixed value. "

I can't picture why or how that would happen. Insync does not confirm trend, it is overbought/oversold indicator. You are saying that if Dahl is above 0, trend is up intermediate term, you make less money? Are you planning on looking (eyeballing) trend? I missed the point of Dave's eyeballing but if he did, he has the experience to do it.

Why don't you show how system is set up. do a test, then look at reports for system and ctrl-c the system and paste it in a post. like:

System notes

Enter long HHV(C,44)-HHV(C,55) > LLV(C,55) - LLV(C,44)
Close long C-Mov(C,43,W) < 0

Initial equity 10000
Positions Long
Trade price Open
Trade delay 1
Entry commission 25 points
Exit commission 25 points
Interest rate 0%
Margin req. 100%

So I can get an idea how you used dahl or insync.
