I intended to to edit 'optimized' to random (should have), but that was a (the only) precondition to measuring a postpeak relationship of 66% divergence. No other real optimization here as I see it. You're right about needing a stop-loss for tuning to reality, but with those 5 criteria measures alone you would assume to sell any at 19% median gain since the 30% avg gain was significantly higher; you'd cut the max avg % production but achieve at least the median result by entering each issue on day -60 and exiting no more than 60 days later, no? The 50/6 win-loss was favorable to the setup assumptions here, and only if other sample backtests sustained similar results. That was my initial point.
