Hi John,

Apparently, the CyberX simulations are carried out using the previous
trading day of the stock markets. I was applying the trading rules in
a book I'm reading over again (Day Trade Online by Christopher
Farrell). He provides some companies as a sample list on the NYSE
like:

AAT ACG ADF AMF AMU VOT XAA

ACN ACP ACR AEC AER AHE UMH

BGR CIV CPN CSR UTP CV CZN DPL

Basically, you step in 1/16 on wide price spreads between the bid ask
with low volume and no more than a 1/4 up or down. So, you low ball
the specialist. Using an imaginary $50,000 I was able to generate
$2,800 net profit in about two hours. You have to be glued to the
screen.
