This strategy grew a 10K account to just under 27K from June 6 to Sept 12 2008 trading EURUSD.  It had a 100 pip per position stop loss rule, max drawdown of 25% of starting capital, and sells everything at the end of the week. 

I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions on it.  I'm new to this, but almost trebling my money in 3 months with drawdown and stop loss protection seems pretty good to me.  But I'm new at this, so please be kind.

I'd also appreciate any comments or suggestions on how to use a strategy like this with trading software that does not allow me to incorporate it.  My trading software has pivot points, and Williams %R, but not a CCI oscillator  -- only a plain CCI function.  And my indicators do not allow some of the smoothing and other adjustments the FSB software used. 

So I can approximate what this strategy did and then trade it by hand, or I guess I can go back and eliminate the smoothing and other things my software can't do and then see how well the strategy works after I "dumb it down"?

Thanks in advance for any comments and assistance --
