 Oddball may work over a longer period of time??!!?? Backtesting for me
 beyond 2000 shows Oddball result were just break even! nothing like what has
 been seen since!
 
 That was my results anyway!

Dennis,
How far back did you go ... prior to 2000?  I've gone back as far as the Sept 
'98 s&p futures contract.  Oddball hit a bad patch for the 4 contracts from 
Mar to Dec '99 .... all 'losers'.  Those 4 (in a row no less) plus the Sept 
'01 contract are the only  losing contracts I found.  It's currently working 
on its 6th with the Jun '02 contract .... but it's got a few days to put 
things right yet.  When it's good, it's very very good ... and when it's bad 
it's awful  (I stole that line from someplace <g>).
Regards,
Lee
