&#8220;Year-to-date&#8221; and &#8220;Past 12 months&#8221; columns don&#8217;t match, this is because the Year-to-date column is based on real-time trading and the Past 12 months column uses the most current version of each system for the entire 12 months.\u00a0 Updates were made to the intraday systems in March so the first 3 months of the year have different results.\u00a0 I am\u00a0going to\u00a0now do a study of results comparing updated systems results with results if updates had not been made.\u00a0 I will post my findings here and any adjustments being made going forward.\u00a0 The only update made to MeanSwing was to add a fixed dollar trailing stop for better money management.\u00a0 Since no update to the trading logic was made and\u00a0a necessary stop was added, MeanSwing won&#8217;t be included in this study.<\/p>\n<table width=\"590\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"173\" \/>\n<col width=\"89\" \/>\n<col
