    1. my systems generate signals depending on activity so it could be 1 minute it could be all day

    2. forex

    3. 3 systems - 1 sideways, 1 trend, 1 counter trend. the idea is that when you back test them together you get a smooth profit curve as opposed to the ups and downs of a single system
