Tom's statement (see below) strikes me as somewhat profound.

He's touched on the reason why I tend to think that
macro-economic numbers don't form a good basis for a trading system
because all such numbers are first filtered by the psychology and
sentiment of traders/investors.  You would do better to try and model
traders and trader behavior than economic numbers.

Price on the other hand is a *result* of trader sentiment which makes
price and volume a more reliable basis for implementing a trading system.

IMHO of course...
