it looks like this system is meant to trade 3% of your account equity per stock so even if a stock goes to zero, which is not too likely, you would lose only 3 % of equity. That's not much risk at all.

If you want more protection then add a stop loss but remember that this system will trigger as a stock falls therefore it will most likely continue to fall and if you set your stop/loss to tight you will almost always sell before the stock rebounds.

When you say this system is 77% sucessful does that mean that 23% of your stocks have gone to zero or that you are still holding on to them. It seems like setting a stop loss at some point would bring a better return but I could be completely wrong.

Couple of questions:

In the Nas 100 backtest, what was the average time a trade was open?

The only sell rule was the 95% of the 200 MA - no stop loss?

You can’t really trade this system with Wealth-Lab because you are executing orders on “bar” instead of “bar+1”. If you run this during trading hours bar will refer to yesterday so you can’t buy or sell as of bar. If you run this after the market closes, bar will refer to the current day but you won’t be able to trade because the markets are closed. IOW you should execute orders as of bar+1.

Ok, so there is no lower limit to sell a stock? What if you buy a stock that has gone down and it keeps going down, will you follow it all the way to zero?

This appears to be an excellent trading system. However, if would be interesting if we could create a better risk/reward scenario by trading this system with options.
