S&P 500 3-Day Advance Issues Trading System
Here is the trading system I presented in the Futures Magazine article, Using market breadth in trading systems, in the January 2008 issue.

1. Emini S&P regular trading hours (RTH) only.

Downloadable Code
Those of you who have NeoTicker can download the formula language based system here.
