October 18th, 2010, Revision: 39

• We decided to change the C2 system to a bonus system for the bundle buyers (Pay 3 + Get 2 Free Standard, Pay 3 + Get 2 Free Profesional or All 9 Surfr).
• From today it is possible to buy at a discount price all 9 signals as a bundle. This was one of the most popular demand.
• From today everyone that had by 3 get 1 free systems will receive the Bonus system for free!

July 17th, 2010, Revision: 28

• Drop [01/01/2003-01/01/2006] period in charts and statistics because is misleading, eventless and without meaningful ETF representation.

• Use now a dark brown background for active data to better fit in site theme.

July 10th, 2010, Revision: 27

• New strategies better than before. Now are presented ten.

Friday downloaded data from Yahoo Finance altered the long term(!!!) performance of some strategies. Curiously it improved dramatic last year performance. We should not be worried for the moment I will keep an eye next week over the data coming from them and if is something wrong with our models I will replace some strategies with others that are less sophisticated in their approach and didn’t suffer from Friday's degradation. For this week update I will keep the same strategies. This week I discovered other 4 simpler strategies that feel robuster than many used now so at horizon it is still a lot of hope!
