Hi MM,

Tom had a system he developed many moons ago that he trades. He is very much the system trader. If his system told him when to go to the bathroom, I believe he would follow it! His system can be traded across many markets and works very well for him. He is quite hush hush about the mechanics of it, and reasonably so I suppose. I have not talked with him in quite a while.

I created a system a couple years ago that backtests well, but it is not my trading style, so I did not stick with it. If anyone is interested it is a simple moving average crossover system. 10 minute charts, 14 period and 150 period moving average. Profit goal of 3.15% and stop at 1.05%. The profit goal and stop are converted to points every 100 spoo points or so and that is the target used until the next 100 point marker is crossed. It seems to work well. Check it out if you wish.

Anyway, just passing through tonight. Will offer more thoughts in the near future.
