The Christmas System	<b>The Christmas System</b>: A system that trades only 2 weeks every year, based on the idea that retail stocks (as measured by membership in the S&P Retail Index) have a high tendency to bounce back from selloffs during the end of the holiday shopping season. The system triggers a buy everytime a retail stock has a down 2% day in the last 2 weeks of december. One buys the stock at the next days open and sells it at the close 5 days later. <b>Results</b>: Simulated on all members of the S&P Retail Index since 2000 from December 15th to the 31st. Simulated using 5% of equity per trade. <b>Number of Trades</b>: 122 trades, 91 successes (74.5%) <b>Average Return per trade</b>: 4.98% Starting Capital: $100,000.00 Ending Capital: $133,120.41 Simulated Using Wealth-Lab, a product of Fidelity.
