No, they are not part of it, gg53 has explained his method in very long threads on the FF forum.

I only wonder why it is so complicated to do a simple test. The method just predicts ZZ points. So you could easily test it by going long at a low point and short at a high point. If the method has any merit, the results should be positive. I wonder why after almost a year, still no one can show positive test results.
