northam43 - Hey, you don't have to prove anything to me. You are honest enough to admit you are underwater for the year. That in itself is a sign of real integrity. It just seemed odd to me that after 15 of 18 winners you could still be underwater. Your buy blocker improvement to your system will perhaps help. What if you gave up the system and just used the buy blockers? I admit I know very little about your system other than you have lost money trading it. Can the buy blockers be used independent of your system? Do have to use the system to to give the buy before you use the buy blocker? Is the buy blocker a criteria that has to be met after a buy signal is given by the system before a buy can be made?
