I have just a lay-mans understanding of PID but in your opinion, shouldn't trading just one currency pair with it be far more likely to produce a long-term positive result - at least in theory - rather than trading baskets? It seems impossible to me that you could have any form of 'control' trading multiple currencies...
If the purpose of the basket is to isolate a currency for its true direction, then that would have some usefulness, and serve a purpose.

One Non Farm Payroll double spike will upset any controller. The martingaling ring out of the controller will be substantial.
