Here is a simple system: WCOM long close>hhv(low,21) close close<llv(high,21) I don't know if this is my invention or was posted by another.. Trend following system.. Less trading than Richard and over slightly longer period.. I'll have to do the reciprocal for the short side.. BTW, no stops re: Richard...don't like the drawdown..
