All the rules appear sensible & the starts at distance/sp requirements help to inject value, nice one if it is consistent.

Couldn't agree more norisk, but it's more work than I care to do. It shows a 10% profit taking into account the max div, so that's something. I'll look at Vic and NSW and get back to you, coz my testing shows that if they're both in profit then it's a reliable system. I posted on here under Un-Flaming-Believable a huge difference between Vic and NSW, one showed a good POT the other a LOT, and I'm no nearer to finding out why. My posts of results for systems are to demonstrate that the inclusion of one unusual or unpopular filter can have a huge upside in the POT.
Maybe my posts on POT's are useful, maybe they're not ..... but I'll keep whacking a few up, and will put the proviso in from now on, that further testing needs to be done over each individual interval during the whole period, and testing also needs to be done in each individual state. I certainly don't want to mislead those who are new to this caper, and that's why I've been reluctant to post systems in the past.
Also there's quite a few systems on here claiming decent POT's, esp years ago, that under my testing show a LOT !! So it really is Caveat Emptor, 'cept you aint paying nothin', but I don't want to mislead the newbies.
