SME Sorry, Sue, but I am unable to pattern SME. The very best return of all the nets i ran (including some which were exact opposites of other nets) yielded about a -50%. The problem is that the stock goes hoizontal, and I mean really flat for long periods of time and traded uner $2 for a long time. Since the net is attempting to optimize profit, it looks for close/open patterns and other things that might be predictive of a profitable move. Since it stays flat, all you end up doing is attempting to buy at the bid and sell at the ask. On top of that, accounting for slippage made it negative anyway. lastshadow
