DIGL BACKTEST II: made a typo on trade #2...not quite as good as first indicated...what follows is the corrected version of the backtest Now ready to fire up the DIGL portfolio. Will reduce SCH to 200 shares again after the close of the present trade, and transfer these funds and some of the profits to DIGL. 200 shares traded on a $5800 margin account Opening buy-and-hold price on 4/3/2000: 57.75 1. Short: 57.75 to 57.125 = $105 2. Long: 57.125 to 64 = $1355 3. Short: 64 to 66.25 = ($470) 4. Long: 66.25 to 68 = $330 5. Short: 68 to 36.5 = $6280...a monster trade! 6. Long: 36.5 to 32 = ($920) 7. Short: 32 to 36.75 = ($970) 8. Long: 36.75 to 54.5 = $3530 9. Short: 54.5 to 44.125 = $2055 10. Long: 44.125 to 68.75 = $4905 11. Short: 68.75 to 61 = $1530 12. Long: 61 to....up and up! Total profit for portfolio = $17,730...un-bloody-believable! (308% in one month!) Buy-and-hold = 5.6% profit Keep in mind: these are historical backtests, and are not necessarily indicative of future results. But hey, it's worth a shot! UN-BLOODY-BELIEVABLE! TC.
