I stoped testing this one a few weeks ago, it started slowing down my computer so much I couldnt do anything else. Even with all the indicators turned off it still draws a lot of power. But beyond the simple power needs, which my computer should be able to handle, just running it 24hrs a day seemed to cause problems. ?

I dont know what could be done with this program, but it does trade very well at times. I've seen it go on streaks where it just cleaned up. In a more stable market environment it might perform much better, the current volitility is hard on a lot of mechanical systems that werent specificaly designed to deal with it.

Other than that the problem comes down to the fact that this is simply a moving average system using a very lagging smoothed average. In strong well confirmed trends it can hold and come out a winner, but even then it often goes through large drawdowns to get to its small goal. Theres got to be a way, I just dont see it right now, and there are so many other interesting EA's to test.

I'm still interested in this program, but for now its on the shelf.
