Dear PRS,

Thanks for your input.I need to find out why it does not correlate with what 
has been sent to me privately and what I have personally seen.

The setting parameters one person found best were TS $1125,L 12 L 12 exit 0 
MOC all for 90 min.It works better on long side than short.

At 25 min. from 5/24/99 to 8/27/99 it made $50,000 with 63% profitable 
trades.

I am hopeful it can be improved and appreciate your interest.

Sincerely,

John
