<It seems hard for the supercomputers and program trades to hold a direction for that long> I wish I could get that far. I have a gap between the data and the software designed to create models. Time-consuming, frustrating. I tend to "lose it" quite often since I started doing this. At least you have something that is working for you. Every time I think I am close it blows up. I need some sort of "robustness" check. Another problem seems to be that in this market 2 to 6 weeks can't be held without a huge stop. How about Scott's method that is still short from 975? Perhaps it's absolutely correct for a 2 to 6 week hold. Going back to the Winter/Spring/Summer that sort of system would work very well. Now it does not seem viable. One week the market is 1135, 7 trading days later it's 950 then a few days later it's 1090. Yessh; I just realized we are reverting to discussing Systems and Strategies. Totally Off Topic. It's looks like a late night for my son and I; we wrestled one of the machines away from the others so it appears we shall be number crunching until dawn.
