It's in the rules to sell on the first day of it's a doji, it was kinda of one on the DOW but definitely a doji on the etf. So I think it's valid to add that
Does MA have an actual set of rules listed somewhere? I ran into this over and over when I was evaluating his Socrates system and it always seemed like someone after the fact would reference another of MA's rules which would have somehow made the trade come out on the right side but yet nobody seemed to be able to make the call beforehand so you could actually trade it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one that experienced this issue.
