Looking for a mechanical trading system

Hmm, that's interesting that you backtest for 10 years. I was thinking of backtesting to 2 years back. This is because I believe that market conditions change and information from 3-10 years ago should be greatly discounted. Don't you think that a system that worked from 1993 - 2003 through the dot com bubble phase would not provide consistent results in this year's market?
I don't want to be offensive, but it sounds like rationale similar to value investing. It works over the long haul so apply it in all time periods even if you have to sit though 8 years of stagnant performance.
Just my 2 cents.

can someone tell me in beginners language, based on past performance how much profit can one reasonably expect to make from Berkeley Capitals mechanical systems.It sounds very good for someone who doesn't want to go through the a painful learning curve.Is that possible?
DaveCA Options brought up Berkeley Capital.I'm new to this area but I've learned enough to know that when I asked how good it was people would tell me if it was so good why don't they just use it to get rich themselves.Or they would tell me if you weren't the one making the decisions from the advantage of personal judgement based on hard earned experience and knowledge it would have little value.
They offer to show their results but I wan't able to access it.I was hoping someone might have some personal experience with this mechanical system that works on an autotrade.They said it takes out the emotions when working like this.
Any more ideas?
P.S. I find you folks very interesting.

I am not new to trading futures but I am confused about all the systems out there most of which use mathimatics to provide a signal, are there any programmes that are so called intelligent programmes that take into account the movement in the markets over a certain time span and analyze this data and provide a realistic probability where the market is moving. I only wish to trade twice a day I thought about scalping any views?
