 Dont get too excited, with a 50% or so winning picks ratio  this is n ot 
a good stock pick system-- you're in coin flip territory.

win/loss ratio is 2 to 1-- and expectancy is 2% gain per trade....very 
average stuff imo.

here's a tip-- dont let your losses get past 8% with this system or 
you'll find yourself in hurt-ville fast.
