I was have been following your study and implemented 2 portfolios with certain variations. In both portfolios, only the stocks you picked were entered in the portfolios.
Portfolio 1:
All stocks, # of shares, price and date were entered as in your portfolio. However, I used the 20% rule to protect profits (sell 1/3 when the stock is up 20%, sell the other 1/3 when it reaches 40%, and let the other 1/3 ride). Stocks were sold whenever you sold them in your portfolio, or the price was down 8% from purchase price. This resulted in a 54.8% gain.
Portfolio 2:
Subset of above, only the stocks with good P&F charts were added (ie buy signal, DT, etc.). Selling was as above. Result 80.1% gain.
