    Speaking of out-of-sample results, I looked through the early posts on Power Dip but didn’t see any backtest data. Did I miss it? It would be interesting to compare real-time with backtest results …

    Thanks!

    I’ve never really published a comprehensive set of backtest results. When I started tracking the system in real-time in public, I wanted the system to speak for itself, so to speak. I think it has done that.

    What I can do this weekend is post the backtest results right up to the real-time out-of-sample inception of the system, and then post the out of sample backtest results to be weighed against the actual real-time results.

    I already know there will be some differences, as occasionally the system will pick up something to trade that is not tradeable, and so I will manually exclude it, although it will show up in the backtest results.

    Also, at some point I switched over from requiring a close >5 to requiring a close > 1 (less restrictive) as the penny stocks have been flying. So that also will be hard to account for when weighing backtest vs. real-time.

    Look for it this weekend.

    Hey Wood,

    The backtested results you posted look great! There’s a problem with this post, though:

    “Two new positions will be added on the open: Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (BR: 20.23 -4.17%) and [[FORM]”

    Thanks,

    Michael
