    Please let us know ASAP when we should go ahead and turn the EOD systems on.

    that's been covered for a

    that's been covered for a while now in the premium content section.  We update the profit curves once a week.  We have not been sending emails out on this, but it's covered in that section.

    First off, none of the systems are bad or need to be discarded.

    in the premium content section, for people who feel that they want to play with them more, they can look at the profit curves in the premium content section. 

    FAZ 1 min system has been uptrending for weeks now, should have been on, this as been covered, should have been On

    FAZ 15 min systems, same thing, should have been On

    FAZ 3 min system broke its downtrend line last week, should have beene On

    SRS 3 min system broke its downtrend line last week, should have been On

    SRS 15 min swing systems should have been On

    URE long only, never was in a downtrend, should have been On

    SSO 5 min system broke its down trendline over a week ago, should have been On

    It would be much more

    It would be much more objective to publically record the results of these MA crossover strategies at the end of EVERY day instead of cherry picking only the best days.  Wouldn't you agree?

    What?  The systems have been doing well, especially in Aug.  It takes hrs to update the stats on the weekend and to make new systems.  Also, yes I'm going to talk about the good days because of marketing purposes!  However the systems do great even with the bad days taken into account. Maybe you are just angry that you didn't play them today.

    Maybe we should just take them off the site.  These systems take a long time to do and manage and I get so much complaining that maybe I'll just take them off, it's not worth all the time and effort

    hi matt pls ignore such frustration

    aah don't worry, we all

    aah don't worry, we all get a little frustrated at times, including me, I'm not Spock from Star Trek, not yet anyway.  Trading is a very emotional thing; we all fall prey to it at times.  Tech analysis and systems are an attempt to relegate the emotional, but emotion is strong.

    If you devised a system

    If you devised a system that returns 100% a day, every day, no exceptions, you would still be deluged with complaints.  Kvetching is one of the unfortunate traits of human nature.  But so is gratitude.  And I think that, day in, day out, there's more of the latter than of the former.

    System results

    I think it's fine to post the really good days. The strength of the mechanical systems are by always keeping the systems on so you don't miss these days.

    Too many people get angry because they do the systems one day and then dont' do the next signal which is a winning signal

    Anyone running the systems at

    Anyone running the systems at all ?

    Yes, consistently quite a few.

    Posted by Vida on 29th of Sep 2009 at 09:05 am

    Yes, consistently quite a few. They are a great feature of BPT and many would be surprised at how much discipline is needed to stick rigidly to the system trades if you don't have them automated. Furthermore they are profitable....

    Yes. SRS 15 EOD and

    Posted by kingpin777 on 28th of Sep 2009 at 08:00 pm

    Yes. SRS 15 EOD and FAZ 1 min. FAZ 1 min has been doing well for many weeks now. SRS seems to be chopping back.
