Our results are essentially the same. I have +3% for the VLPNF20. Not bad considering that the Dow was over 9100 when we put it together.
Buying on pullbacks would be a good enhancement. It's just a matter of how much time you have to put into it. Since this is forward testing we can change the rules as we go forward as long as we clearly document it for later review. Or we can start a 4th portfolio and call it "pullback". The first three portfolios are always fully invested, so we don't have to account for cash balances. A pull back portfolio will have some cash balances while waiting for pullbacks.
we can use the VL 1&2, RS in X & BSL criteria. Let's say that this criteria gives us 60 candidates, of which 35 are on pullbacks. How do we want to pick 20 from that group of 35? Some options might be -

Strictly by sector %bullish or
Give preference to sectors that are in a bullish mode or
Alphabetically by ticker as to get a diversified group or
Throw darts etc etc etc.

Give it some thought and let me know what you want to do.
