What kind of trading system( non automatic) do you guys recomend for somone papertrading and getting familuar with?

I like using sma's in a manor that when the lines cross they give buys and sells but have a lot of whipsaws.

I get the stocks from a oversold scan type filter.

You know moving average crosses only work in a trending market which is 30% of the time. You will get CHOPPED around majority of the time. Not a good strategy to live by. You should apply different strategies under different market conditions. I also don't think in terms of oversold or overbought. Better to think in terms of supply vs demand or price rejecton vs price acceptance.
