Back Testing

I have been a little busy back testing.

Not as fun as you might think because there were a lot of manual hand entries.

I am only allowed 4 months period for testing and that is why you see results for different months beginning. In a way, it is better because what if you did not start trading until Feb or Apr?



ROI% is annualized and the actual result for 4 months starting Jan was 32.87%

More details for Jan results.
