jony,

You need to spend some time rereading Jose's last post and visiting 
his website. 

You should note the following statement from Jose:

"The main reason in posting the indicator is for members to learn 
and experiment with it, not trade its basic signals."

As far as putting money on the table, I believe his website explains 
how much and with what system.

The Countback Oscillator has some interesting concepts in it. You 
are correct that other indicators offer similar signals...that's not 
the point though. The point is how the final signals were derived. I 
personally enjoyed the "Automatic overBought/Sold levels" and will 
probably incorporate those in other indicators.

The point of Jose's post was not that the countback oscillator 
should be used as a trading system nor was there anything "cheap 
skate" about it. If that was what you got out of the post then I 
believe your few months of study have been a waste of time.

As an aside note, I agree with you that everyone should use due 
diligence in their trading. It takes a wise person to manage their 
money in a way that will allow it to grow larger.

the logic behind this conversation is "if a one thing is soo good 
often a person keeps it as his proprietary, however since he is not 
too sure whether this indicator is usefull he try to throw it to 
other let other tested. once the crappy report is generated, he will 
imediatelly rubbing his hands to collect what ever the rubbish 
result. " If you are so confident on this indicator why dont you use 
the trade sim to test it you are the mechanical guy 
right???????????????. Also talking on a fully mechanical system Its 
been a while I didn't chase some wild goose mainly on the chart 
pattern. one may say this is the lowest low or other might say this 
is a head and shoulder. thus your trading signal become very 
confusing and cause you headache

most of any cost averaging system. If you see trade station you may 
find that the system's name are the same as your average system is 
this just a coincidence????????
