Backtest Report: Raw Advancers and Decliners Indicator
Many of you have asked for this, and I apologize for it taking so long. Once you digest the report you will see that it is not something I purposely meant to keep hidden!
The Raw Advancers and Decliners Indicator is proprietary, but it could easily be re-created as I have posted all of the specifics of how it is created.
Here are rules:
- Buy signal is generated for the next open after the decliners exceed the upper Bollinger Band.
- Sell signal is generated for the close when the decliners close beneath the lower Bollinger Band.
This report used [[SPY]] as a trading vehicle but it also works well with other ETFs such as [[QQQQ]] . You can see a nightly update of this indicator here on my blog. In real-time trading, the system is out-performing expectations based on the historical backtesting. I do not expect this significant out-performance to continue forever.
