<< Interesting to hear mechanical systems being mentioned. Hard to get a system that always says sell at 4:00est. But it beats "that certain feeling" type of trade.>> I'm not sure whether you were serious with that comment, but... Developing a system that says sell at 4:00 pm is the easiest part of a mechanical system... Simply add a new rule: IF current time >= 15:59 then CLOSE ALL TRADES The challenge is to develop a very selective mechanical system that can overcome commission, the spread, and execution quality to consistently make money. This is much more difficult than most newcomers might realize. Good Luck, -Eric
