(1) Richard :

Do you have a performance record of the several systems (moving average, zero line, trix, etc.) that you mention on your web page. Which one is more profitable? Which one has the greatest drawdown? Any other statistics that show how these various systems have performed would be great. If they are presented in Tradestation type format, that would be fine. Thanks.
