<< Hi RTs,  
 
 Does any RT use more than 1 trading system?  What would you do if
 different systems come out with opposite forecasts?  
 
 Give you an example.  March 2000 cotton.  If you use MA cross over, you
 still have short positions.  If you use breakout rule, you probably have
 gone short but got out today because you are afraid this thing is doing
 a "false breakout".  If you follow trends AND adopt "buy breaks, sell
 rallies" axiom, then you are waiting for this rally to finish its surge
 and go short again.  If you like to pick the tops and the bottoms, now
 it is the time to go long.  If you use "Purple System" (An unorthodox
 application of an ancient Chinese Astro. method), then cotton will shoot
 up vertically and never look back.  .......etc.  There are hundreds of
 systems that give you all different forecasts.  No wonder is trading
 difficult!  
 
 I think consciously and subconsciously, deep our mind, we must be at
 peace with our methods.  For example, Norman often gave us his Astro.
 forecasts, which are often quite accurate. (In my opinion)  However, I
 simply could not bring myself to trade on Astrology because I studied
 too much Physics and Math. in college.  
 
 However, I always love to see Norman's forecasts.  
 
 All the above are for general information only, not for trading
 purpose.
