I love the 'EVIDENCE' part ! How can people be so ignorant to fall in such a trap...

i would think the mandelbrodt book would be a goody, since he just about invented the idea.

I haven't used the CFB or any of Jurik's other products but I have gotten invaluable insights from his extensive writings on how to design my own. I even 'back-engineered' the CFB to some extent. What I got worked in a theoretical sense but was too noisy to be practical for real trading. I have little doubt that Jurik delivers what he promises, even if they aren't always the most practical indicators *cough*RSX*cough*
