Is the "POMO periods / ETF Confirmation" a case of correlation or a case of causation in the process of developing new robot rules (http://stats.org/faq_vs.htm)? I would feel quite more comfortable with the ETF confirmation rule if the rationale for its use during POMO periods was inferred based on logical grounds prior to a data mining exercise that shows the superior performance it produces.
