I programmed Kevin's EMA 10-50 crossovers into CoolTrade in minutes. Just keep one computer on at home, and continue dumping cash into your brokerage account (TD) from your salary and/or trading profits. CoolTrade will invest a portion of your net cash for you. You can run one long, and one short strategy. If you want to run 2 longs, then open up 2 accounts. I just entered SDS and SSO into the buy watchlist, and programmed it to buy when the 10 is greater than the 50. There are other automated platforms out there, but this is the one I'm now using.

Cool-trade: Would be surprised if you could make any money consistently with this off the shelf software. Please be very careful.

JT:
Thanks for the links - I don't use ThinkorSwim though, so they were mostly of academic interest for me.
If you run the filter you'll see that it said to go short on 1/28 when the SPY was at 108.57 and then go long on 2/25 when the SPY was at 110.67. You took a -1.9% loss, but since then you are up 4.3%. Unleveraged gains and losses listed here - this same system can be played with the 2x or 3x ETFs for larger gains.
