I have noticed the same thing not only on Oddball, but on the
Swinger system advertised at http://spb.addr.com -- this system uses
the cash index for generating signals also.  I modified it to use
the cash index for signals but trade the actual futures contract,
and the resulting performance wasn't something I'd really want to
trade.
