Olu, I backtested your/IBD's

Buy DELL at any 52 week high and sell it when it
crashes thru' it 50day EMA
strategy

Price on 6/5/90 = 1.83/shr
Price on 12/4/97 = 91.5/shr

Assumptions

Long positions only
No comissions
No stops
No taxes paid

Trading gain = 426%
Buy and hold = 5,000%


11 trades were made
10 were profitable
Largest gain 144.61%

Current position is "out"
Next entry ~$104

While this strategy yielded mostly profitable trades,
the results pale in comparison to buy and hold. In
fact, this strategy for Dell is one of the least
profitable. The 20 and 60 day WMA crossover
generated 2550%, 20 trades, 12 profitable.

Olu, do you backtest your strategies?

Anyway, my origional post posed the challange of
find a trading system for DELL that outperforms
the buy and hold strategy
. You said "that's
easy"... just do this, so maybe you didn't understand
my origional post.

Still would like a hot shot TA to show me the magic
indicators.. anybody out there?

Best of luck...
