I'm glad there is an AIM Zone that lets all of us discuss these types of systems, since they work so well.

Indeed. And part of what makes them work is that they are, by nature, contrarian to the general actions of the "herd," and the more widely prescribed advice to "cut losses short and let winners run," which has always bothered me - "run until when?" Run out of gas?

Seriously, though, I wonder how the whole "game" would change if the contrarian systems became dominant? Would they still work or what's currently "anti-contrarianism" then become the more effective paradigm? Probably only a theoretical discussion as the mentality of the "herd" is unlikely to change but it is like living in a concave mirror and wondering how life is on the convex side. What sort of reflection do you get then?
