    Thanks for the question. I did not say clearly how much capital used in this system. The starting capital is based on max number of positions and size for each position. Currently we use $1.2m. The size for each position is $12,000-. Because the number of shares is round to 100 in most cases, the average size is around $10,800. The max positions we can have is 110 (with the 11 days holding period, max 10 new positions per day).

    We are going to add longs today to test water. The stocks among the last 5 day's list and show worst return will be our first choice. This approach is a little twist of our original system, which has no longs at all in Feb. So play carefully, and enter long positions only when nasdaq is close above yesterday's high.
