This variation shows what happen when you don't take trades until after 1100
EST rather than 0930.  That is the only variation I made for illustration
purposes, but you can get better results by experimenting with a mirror
image declining issues signal (to reduce trade frequency).  Also in the post
split market if you change the parameters from 3 and 1 to 0, you will have
net profits of $670,000+, even though 1999 is a crappy year.
