Topic: backscan returns anualized ROI?
Posted: Thursday, April 14, 2011 3:08:04 PM
Well, I went through and manually did the math, which does in fact make sense.  Ugh-- there IS such thing as too much data :)

So I have to manually go through and add up all the returns from the individual stocks to get an accurate total return, accurate drawdown, etc.. ?

Is there a way to turn this off?
It dramatically distorts all the numbers and I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

This is the only thing I can think of, since I have one trade that shows under the individual stock result as +1.5% and held for 1 days but it says my return is ~450%, and a 7% return held for 9 days as ~300%.

Also, if it drops 1% in 1 day then I get out, it will be counted as a 450% (or so) loss.  I constantly "take" 3-5k losses and gains, according to stockfinder.  While this is kind of entertaining, it definitely does not help me in the slightest to refine my trading.  Thanks in advance.
Topic: question on MA conditional filter (3 lines of code)
Posted: Saturday, December 11, 2010 11:39:12 AM
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.  For some reason, this code is showing 0 results (I'm checking it against industry watch lists... most have 30-40 stocks and I can visually see several stocks that meet the criteria I'm looking for but are being discounted.)

The goal is to find stocks that have 1. a positive 30 week MA, and 2. are currently trading below their 30 week MA.  My code follow is between, but not including, the "=" sign border:

=============================================================

Dim MAchange As Integer = (price.avg(30) - price.avg(30, 1))
If MAchange > 0 Then pass
If price.Close < price.avg(30) Then pass

==============================================================
for the life of me, this darn code is 3 lines long and has taken 3 days with still no results heh; could really use assistance.  Thanks in advance!
