After re-reviewing my results for my EDS scan, I find the test results of 175% annualized ROI is very misleading since the system only has 28 trades over 6 months with each trade only occupying 4-15 days. The subject population of 15 high Long Term Technical Rank/30-day Average Volume Rank stocks may have been too small. I ran the same test against my second user list which contains the subgroupings of stocks in the Dow, S&P 100, Nasdaq 100, S&P 600 Smallcap Growth sub-index, and the S&P 400 Midcap Growth sub-index. The results seem to substantiate my earlier tests. Over 6 months, there 41 trades (35 profitable, 6 losses) with average trade duration of 31 days. Average trade was up 19.6%. The average losing trade lost 6.3%. The annualized ROI would be 124.78%. My next test would be add to the user list a subgroup of stocks comprised of high relative strength stocks in the previous tests. The subgroup would change on a monthly basis. This may increase the ROI toward 150% or more.
