Todd, I agree with you, I want to see history. markettiming has all their trades posted for 2003 and 2004. After having signed up for a month, I now have access for all the history of 2005. What we don't know is if the history is real or made up. But I am going to commit a small amount of money to to follow them for the next few weeks. As the trades make "me" money, I will start to commit more and more to them. I am not sure how they are generating their signals, but I can tell they are coming before the market is moving in that direction. It would appear that as a trend flatens, it generates a signal.

They sent out a short signal last night for today(Wed), but their web site said to say long. I did not check my email last night and I did not check the web site this morning. I just checked the web site (Wed 6pm). It is now dated 9/1 and says to go short. There maybe some confusion because they are in the process of rebuilding their web site. Sure glad I missed the short call last night. It will be interesting to see how they report their results for this closed trade, it should not have today's gain in it.

That was a strange response. Back-testing gets dissed two ways,

Imo its a highly valuable beginning to any defined rule set on trading. It should include bear markets, bull markets and trading ranges.
Then you move on to real time with real money.
