Summarizing above for 2009, +26 points net.  Remove trades where the Secondary was <+-80 would raise the net to 42.6 points (each point approximately 1%).

 2010

 For 2010 the trading model triggers only when the Secondary is trending (colored red or green).  Signals issued when the Secondary is transitioning (slope <+-75) are avoided.  Signals when the Change on the Primary is weak (<+-25) are also avoided.
