I have no knowledge or $ interest in the above EBAY offering. It may be hot air or it may be a great product. Caveat emptor! There are lots of mechanical systems offered by many different vendors. My recommendation is per my SFO post today: check futurestruth.com before investing any money in a system and at a minimum learn the system drawdown, the equity curve and the capital requirements. Curve fitting can make any trading system look fantastic. . till you actually put it to work.
