As for the zipped file... Its not an adobe acrobat file, so instead of trying to open it, save it to your disk in sompeplace you will find it. Then go to that file using explorer or whatever and just doubleclick on it. Winzip should open it and you will havea folder with .gif images in it. PKZIP will actually open things that winzip is supposed to but doesn't, so i recommend it, but winzip works. If you have any probs, pm me. Alien and Jay - I will download 6 months data for those funds andrun them. I can't really switch between funds on the analytical model i use, But I can plot them adjacent to each other to see if thatwould make sense. Will go do that now.

Jay "I'd be especially interested in seeing how switching between OUPIX and URPIX would have performed." I assume you mean UOPIX, and i have done that. up until the Oct 8 tanking, both gave entry signals about the same time, although URPIX had generated about a 25% retrun in the 3 months preceeding that whereas UOPSX had only made about 8%. From the Oct 8 timeframe on though, they were direct opposites asyou probably know. Since I don't get data further back than 6 motnhts, i really don't know how the whole year effect is, but i will. lastshadow
