Ray, I think I'm in the same boat as you are. The only item of explanation that I have found at the site is that describing the historical testing ... and there, I understand the words and the sentences but I'm still not sure how the historical testing is conducted. This is another lesson in "life" ... as long as we stay within certain boundaries we think we're gaining a grasp on the "body of knowledge" and then somebody pushes you (or you voluntarily) go outside the boundary and low and behold there is is whole new body of knowledge you didn't even know existed. The more we learn the less we know... I can share what my plan is for the URL in question...I'm going to start picking single criteria, e.g., ROA for NASDAQ stocks, high as possible and low as possible and then look at individual stocks (larger capitalization) from the clearstation site .... clearstation.com and try to decide how the historical testing chart is generated and then try, gradually, more complex searches. It looks like for things like stochastics and MACD, etc., I've got to find some educational material to help me understand the choices that are presented. One general strategy I'm interested in is looking at fundamental criteria such as ROA and Cash Flow growth and then, looking at the poor performers from the set with the hypothesis that there time to will come. :0) If I discover something informative about how the search tool works, I'd be happy to share it with the thread.
