Ben:
Thank you for your feedback. I think the latest signal is true and as you said it shows on the trade history. I didn't mean to accuse the site, but only mentioned my concerns based on what I observed lately, and asked for other followers opinion. Maybe I was tired and saw doubles :-( It's all good now. I entered the trade yesterday too. Will watch the signals more closely and if there anything wrong or suspicious I'll post evidence (such as a screenshot). I hope there is none because I had been a follower for a few months too and like the DS track record.
Ben, I think you're being a bit harsh. You can see how what happened over the weekend can be confusing to people.
erikl - I've noticed this before - once, and it was also over a weekend (I've only been following DowStomper for a few months). I think the best thing to do if there is a signal on a Friday night is to wait until Monday, and if it's still there before the market opens and the trade list etc haven't updated (like happened this time), then hold and wait until Monday EOD. I only trade after I see that DowStomper's trade list and where it refers to the "current" position have been updated.
Three losses in a row, site down for the count, no
communication from the principals..... hmmmmm.
This doesn't bode well!
www.traders101.com is also down - I think it's run by the same people and that DowStomper used to be part of the traders101 site before it was spun off last year. I wonder what's going on...
... anyway, I hope you all held on to your short trade.
i sold the short position. lately short trades are all losing big; it's a strange market condition.
Assuming dowstomper is gone forever, and dowtrader (insight) is closed to new subscribers, anyone has recommendations for other timing signals (free or paid) doing long/short end-of-day DOW?

It would appear that insight.net's new website will have EOD signals posted for free (clickcharts.com) the site is supposed to be up and running early May '07(??). Also elmtrader does a weekly trade (TS1 2007) which I'm trading at the moment with considerable success - a bit more expensive than insight.net unfortunately !

Have you used any of the sites that you mention (above) ? And if so, to what degree of success ?

Looks like http://www.clickcharts.net live now, works and free, but with ads. Does anybody know - will mobile/PDA version be available online or via download?
Not sure... I haven't been paying too much attention to it really. How've you found it?
I've been using another system which is working like Magic the last few weeks - http://www.themerlingroup-inc.com/ It's an EOD system for trading the Nasdaq100 index (via futures, QQQ etc etc.) It's got the last 11 days in row correct, which is impressive given the volatility. Backtest history is also extremely impressive. The system had a rough patch a couple of months ago but I think that's behind it. There's a forum where all the subsribers and system developers chat and all the guys are pretty genuine - some modifications were made to the system recently which has put it back on a very profitable track.

I am using MERLIN as well, although it`s USD 120 p.m - no trial. But the results are absolutely stunning, though system has been adjusted lately - datamined and over optimized?? Also there is a very competitive system at the Holygrail and Poor2Rich groups at yahoo. And that one is free (Druster) and for Russel2K based underlyings. Goes well with merlin, which is for nasdaq100 based underlyings.

I don't know if it's "over-optimised" or just "optimised" - from the discussions in the forums it's clear that the developers are expert statisticians and have created a complex algorithm - I reckon they would know if they were curve-fitting or not (and hence whether their long-term aspirations of making $$millions were going to come true or not!). I'm happy to go along for the ride 
I've just had a look at Druster - is there a performance history somewhere?? I can't see it.

Hi all, just some updates:
Dowstomper is well and alive, the closed trades in 2007 (Dec 28th 06 - Aug 28th 07)gave 1873 ym points ( $ 9365 trading one future contract) with a hefty max drawdown of 950 points , roughly half the returns. Quite good.
Druster made lots of money as well, Merlin ( the only paid system) made money.
And last, not least, free decicionmoose is doing a very fine job.
From the developer of Druster another set of free signals, MORGENSTERN, is available, which I don`t trade, as they refer to equity only, but are said to be making lots of cash.
Anybody knowing reliable profitable free EOD or EOW signals for FTSE or Forex?
Thanks
Hittfeld
