Larrybaz, regardless of how this experiment turns out, I find it very educational and thanks for following up with it. I think all of us tend to think "if only I did this and this I bet I'd make a ton!" but very often we're only remembering the positive outcomes and discarding the bad ones. It's rare to get to see a realtime experiment with real money.

I did something similar a few years ago when we still had to pay commissions. Had a totally mechanical system that looked great on paper. But when you factor in commissions, slippage, executions that didn't happen even though it looked like they should have on the chart, etc, etc, and it didn't work out nearly as planned. I only used about 20 grand and ended up about flat after all was said and done. So pretty similar.
