I fired this ATS up today with the Paradigm code. The backtest displayed an improvement over BruteForce, but I'm a bit ambivalent about including it in the basket. I feel the need to spread the risk; the question is whether this is the proper instrument to join CL and EMD.

The strat is still in this trade.
