Hi Darky,
Yes many commercial systems are retrofitted like hell with very strict rules for many of them. Then they are marketed and almost always fall over.
Not because every man and his dog (excuse the pun) are using them, but because the rules were flawed to start with.
Then the common misconception becomes "systems don't work". Only because the marketed one's either don't have enough data, are based on one or two longshots, or are put in a vice to squeeze out what looks like a good result.
Glossy brochures rarely give a FULL breakdown of system performance, nor do they tell you if you take out the two longest priced winners, it shows a loss.
The little system we talked about off forum continues to show profit and you can take out 20 of the longest priced winners and still show a profit.
